NIGERIA winger, Victor Moses confirmed his great form by netting Chelsea winning goal against Tottenham Saturday.
Spurs may have got their tactics spot on to grab a early goal, even before Chelsea settled in, but on two occasions they’ve lost their concentration and Chelsea have punished them on both.
Spurs overload the midfield and Eriksen picks up the ball on the edge of the box, after the referee waves play on following a foul, allowing Dele Alli to find the Dane in space. He turns towards goal and lashes the ball past Courtois and into the top corner.
Spurs, for all their dominance, allowed Chelsea back in the game with the equalizer. No one picks up Pedro as he received the ball just outside the penalty area with ample space and the Spanish winger turns, composes himself, then curls a delightful 25-yarder past Hugo Lloris’s outstretched palm.
Great work by Diego Costa and Moses provided the winner. Costa started the onslaught, when he latched on to the ball up on the left, beat his man and play a teasing cross to the far post, and Moses to make the gut-busting 60-yard rush to be in the right place at the right time.
After a quiet start, Costa has grown into the game, and he could go home with the best man of the game after creating the second goal and after being involved in the build-up to the first as well.
Hazard also showed his fangs getting involved and their wingbacks are seeing plenty of the ball in very advanced areas.
With the win, Chelsea is back to the top of the Premier League by a point. Tottenham stay fifth, five ahead of Manchester United but facing the prospect of a four-point gap to Arsenal by the end of the weekend.
Chelsea continued to mount pressure and almost made it three in the 55 minutes with Moses drifting wide to allow Hazard space centrally. Costa also heads out to the right flank, and he gets the ball to squeeze a cross into the area for Alonso, who leans back and puts it over.
