Start to a shuddering halt
SpurS:
who can only have had his view blocked, statuesque as he watched it fly past.
The Spaniard soon showed why he is the world’s most expensive goalkeeper, though, as he produced an instinctive stop to keep out Toby Alderweireld’s point-blank effort, with Juan Foyth’s flick from the rebound drifting just wide.
After Chelsea briefly threatened with Eden Hazard testing Hugo Lloris from the edge of the area, Arrizabalaga was at it again with another superb stop to again deny Son.
Alli and Eriksen worked the ball to the South Korean whose low shot was brilliantly palmed around a post. Son eventually got his goal nine minutes after the restart and it was a beauty.
Set free down the right by Alli, Son out-sprinted Jorginho then made a fool of David Luiz before slotting home. As Chelsea pushed forward, even more gaps opened up for Spurs on the break and they should have racked up a rout.
Kane missed from close range as Serge Aurier put it on a plate for him and then Alli curled an effort just wide from a fine position.
Giroud gave Chelsea something to cheer about in the 85th minute as he headed home Cesar Azpilicueta’s cross, but the damage had been done.
