Tottenham 2 - 0 Chelsea : Five things we learnt as Dele Alli denied Blues the Premier League consecutive wins record

Tottenham 2 - 0 Chelsea : Five things we learnt as Dele Alli denied Blues the Premier League consecutive wins record
Tottenham 2 - 0 Chelsea : Five things we learnt as Dele Alli denied Blues the Premier League consecutive wins record - Two headers from two Christian Eriksen crosses saw Spurs move to within seven points of Antonio Conte's Chelsea, who did not turn up for the night.

A DELE Alli double denied Premier League leaders Chelsea a 13th consecutive win which will have broken the record about the Blues final ever stop by at White Hart Lane.

Two headers from two Christian Eriksen crosses either sides of half time saw Mauricio Pochettino's Spurs proceed to within seven points of Antonio Conte's Chelsea in third place, who did not show up on the night they might make history.

This is five things SunSport learnt from your great night with an emphatic Spurs who recorded just their fifth ever win against the Stamford Bridge side...

Diego Costa and Pedro had a full and frank discussion during the first half

Passion presented

We percieve the emotions with the top players out in the open the past few days, applying Alexis Sanchez's angry tantrum with Aaron Ramsey as Arsenal drew 3-3 with Bournemouth yesterday evening.

And in the beginning at White Hart Lane, a very public argument came about between Chelsea stars Diego Costa and Pedro after the latter misplaced a through ball.

It raised much mirth from the Spurs fans, but as long as it doesnt blow up completely a la Kieron Dyer and Lee Bowyer, has good health to see in football as it shows the highest paid stars care and want to win without exceptions.

Dele Alli broke the deadlock in first half injury time with a fine header

Delicious Dele

Harry Kane loves this fixture but was quiet tonight, finding it difficult to get himself involved as tightly marked and isolated.

But he was hardly needed once you had the prolific attacking midfielder Dele Alli, that has now scored seven goals in four matches for Spurs.

The former MK Dons fan, still just 20, was absolutely brilliant finding space from the box to power headers beyond the helpless Thibault Courtois, combining beautifully with Assist King Christian Eriksen.

Spurs haven't ever lost a game title Alli has scored in since joining last season, which continued tonight from the Champions Elect while he netted three consecutive braces.

On the night the pressure of breaking the consecutive win record became too much for the Blues

Could it have been psychological?

No doubting Chelsea work most effectively team in the league this season, and a lot of peoplePer centu2019s bet to win the Premier League.

But for nine days since their last game, the three- demolition of Bournemouth which saw them equal the record for the best consecutive Premier League wins, whether they would beat Arsenal%u2019s previous effort would have been a millstone around their neck.

Footballers past and offer will say it is another game, but making history have to have played on the minds in the lengthy break, in addition to being other teams played.

Antonio Conte is a magnificent man manager and definately will have calmed his stars, but about the night in a riotous atmosphere of bile and hatred at White Hart Lane, they simply would not turn up to get rid of that record.

Tottenham’s talented squad desperately want to play for their inspirational Argentine manager

Spurs are red Hot and also on the up

A new 61,000 seater stadium near the prevailing White Hart Lane which is springing up out from the ground for a price of knots to deal with a separate and dedicated fanbase.

The youngest side from the Premier League, who barring a few notable mishaps in Europe as well as in the league behind end of last season, have produced wonderful football.

A supervisor who is amongst the most impressive in world football using a squad of talented stars who desperately wish to play for him which famous club.

Chelsea may win the league this season, and Manchester clubs could have two world%u2019s biggest budgets and bosses but Spurs will likely be right up there with all the professionals on this current trajectory and tonight would be a major statement.

From Jose Mourinho and Manchester United to Jamie Vardy and Leicester, who are the winners – and losers – of Premier League Boxing Days gone by?

From Jose Mourinho and Manchester United to Jamie Vardy and Leicester, who are the winners – and losers – of Premier League Boxing Days gone by?
From Jose Mourinho and Manchester United to Jamie Vardy and Leicester, who are the winners – and losers – of Premier League Boxing Days gone by? - BOXING DAY, a time to nurse the old Christmas Day hangovers, eat a couple of leftover turkey sandwiches, polish of the cheese plate and, of course, take in some festive football.

There are few things better than the traditional December 26 kick-offs, whether watching live at your local club or sitting down in front of the TV.

Jose Mourinho Smile

But if you’re thinking about having a bet on the game, then it’s worth taking a look at the following stats, as when it comes to Boxing Day there are some clear winners – and losers – according to bwin.

When it comes to December 26, no team has been more successful than Manchester United in the Premier League.

Over the years, they have won a whopping 18 of their 22 fixtures on their day, for a win-rate of 81.8 per cent.

A look at the best – and worst – performers on Boxing Days gone by

In terms of managers, it’s United newbie Jose Mourinho, who has won four of his five fixtures, while Jermain Defoe is the top player, netting in six of his ten Boxing Day outings.

At the other end of the scale it’s bad news for West Brom fans as they have won a meagre one of their ten festive games.

Claudio Ranieri is statistically Boxing Day’s least successful boss

Meanwhile, reigning Premier League champion Claudio Ranieri is the ‘worst’ Boxing Day boss with no wins from his five attempts, with Peter Crouch the worst-performing player with just one goal from nine festive matches.

But of course, there is more to the Christmas fixture list than just Boxing Day, with the games coming thick and fast from the middle of December to early January.

So who are the winners and losers for the month of December?

Manchester United top the list of best clubs through Decembers gone by

Hull are infamously the worst Boxing Day team, including that Phil Brown team-talk

Overall, it’s once again United who are the most successful club with a 63 per cent win rate, followed by Arsenal and Liverpool on 52.6 and 51.1 per cent respectively.

Hull are statistically the worst team, winning just 16.7 per cent of their games – including the 5-1 thumping by Manchester City in 2008 that included the on-pitch team-talk from Phil Brown – with the Baggies and Leicester not far behind on 22.2 and 22.6 per cent.

Boss-wise, it’s the Special One yet again as he has won 66.7 per cent of his 33 matches, with Arsene Wenger and Ranieri not far behind on 58.2 and 50 per cent apiece.

Jose Mourinho is statistically December’s best manager


Tony Pulis ranks as the least successful December boss on 28.9 per cent, while Alan Pardew and Mark Hughes run him close on 33.3 and 42.6 per cent respectively.

December’s best striker honour goes to Harry Kane, whose ratio of 0.62 goals per game eclipses Riyad Mahrez (0.58) and Jay Rodriguez (0.55) with Enner Valencia (zero from 11), Shane Long (three in 35) and Jamie Vardy (one in 11) have the poorest record in front of goal.

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola refusing to take Hull for granted

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola refusing to take Hull for granted

Pep Guardiola acknowledges Manchester City have tightened up defensively in their last two games, but claims anything could still happen at Hull on Boxing Day.

City emerged from a bad spell by keeping a first clean sheet in nine attempts in a Premier League victory over Watford earlier this month and followed that up by coming from behind to beat Arsenal 2-1 last weekend.

The back line has appeared to be City's weak link this season but Guardiola has stressed the way to improve it is not by focusing on fundamentals such as tackling, but improving the all-round play of the team.

By doing this, he expects his team to limit opponents' abilities to create chances and he is pleased with recent progress.

Guardiola said: "It is so important to be solid in the middle and at the back. Against Watford and Arsenal, we conceded few chances, not just because of the back four but because our pressing was higher. Our controlling the game was with the counter-attack, when we had to use it, and our retention of the ball.
 
That is why we conceded few chances but every game is different. Absolutely anything can happen in every game.

Guardiola is not taking anything for granted against Premier League bottom side Hull at the KCOM Stadium

Mike Phelan's Hull side are rooted to the bottom of the Premier League

Mike Phelan's men have taken just 12 points from 17 games and are without a win in their last six league outings but Guardiola has seen signs of danger from the Tigers.

He said: "They started quite well. Of course, the situation is not good but I saw many of their games and they are a special team who try to play more here than other teams in the Premier League.


David Silva has given Guardiola his input on what to expect from Hull

I spoke to [David] Silva and some other players and they gave me good advice about what it means to be playing Hull City on Boxing Day.

What I have learned in my short period here is that the gap between the first 10 and the last 10 is not a big difference.

That is why it is difficult to win. I am not expecting that the games, whether they are home or away, will be easier than any others.

Pablo Zabaleta is doubtful for Man City's trip to Hull after picking up a knee injury against Arsenal

City will check on the fitness of right-back Pablo Zabaleta, who is doubtful for the trip after hurting his knee against Arsenal.

He has a little bit of problems but hopefully he can rejoin us in the training sessions, said Guardiola.
