Malik Ouzia on Tottenham 3-4 Chelsea

Evening Standard

A slip is supposed to cost you in a Premier League title race, as Chelsea fans, courtesy of Steven Gerrard, well know. Tottenham, though, are generous hosts: here, they allowed their visitors two.Two-nil down inside 11 minutes to goals both made in part by Marc Cucurella’s loss of footing, the Blues came roaring back to win 4-3 and deliver the hallmark triumph that was about all that had been missing from Enzo Maresca’s flourishing reign.

00:00I'm just leaving the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, where Chelsea have recorded a dramatic 4-3 come-from-behind victory.

00:07They trailed 2-0 inside 11 minutes here, but as I say, fought back in brilliant style.

00:12Goals from Jadon Sancho, Enzo Fernandes and a couple of Cole Palmer penalties in there as well.

00:17Hyungmin Son did pull one back again late on for Spurs, but too late to mount a comeback.

00:23A really damaging afternoon, you'd have to say for Ange Postokoglu, who had some more injury concerns thrown in there as well

00:29to Christian Romero and Brennan Johnson. But what a win for Enzo Maresco, probably the biggest of his tenure so far.

00:39They've been lacking that real statement win against one of their rivals, but they've got it now.

00:43And as a result, the gap to Liverpool at the top of the Premier League is just four points.

00:47You can find plenty more analysis, both from myself and Dan Kilpatrick, over on the Standard Sport website.

00:53And yeah, plenty more reaction as well from both managers.

00:59I'm Dan Kilpatrick, and I'll see you next time.
