After breaking long winless streaks at Arsenal and Manchester United earlier in the decade, Mauricio Pochettino inspired Tottenham to break their other duck in the latter half of the 2017-18 season, as wonder goals from Christian Eriksen and Dele Alli took Spurs to a 1-3 win at Chelsea – their first win at Stamford Bridge in 28 years.

After half an hour, it seemed like business as usual for the Blues, as they took the lead through striker Alvaro Morata, who headed home a cross from Victor Moses. On the stroke of half-time though, Spurs drew level, as Eriksen controlled a ball from Ben Davies before hitting a thunderous shot that dipped over Willy Caballero and into the net.

It was one of Spurs’ most spectacular goals of the season, but somehow Alli produced something even finer in the second half, as he controlled a long ball over the top from Eric Dier with a phenomenal first touch before firing past the hapless Caballero to give his side the lead. Less than 5 minutes later, the England man scored again – poking home from a goalmouth scramble following a breakaway attack.

Antonio Conte’s men were left stunned by the quick-fire double, and despite their best attempts, they were unable to fight back. In the end then, Tottenham left Stamford Bridge with a well-deserved victory – one of their finest in the Premier League era in fact.
