Chelsea 2-1 Tottenham: Giroud & Alonso Boost Top-4, Lo Celso Escapes Red




Olivier Giroud returned to the starting XI and the scoresheet  in the nick of time for Chelsea, inspiring a precious win against Tottenham.

Chelsea reinforced their grip on fourth place in the Premier League with a much –needed 2-1 win over rivals Tottenham as Olivier giroud scored his first club goal since August.





Frank Lampard men were four without a win in the top flight coming into this clash at Stamford Bridge and had seen their advantage over Spurs cut to just a point in the battle for the Champions League places.




But former manger Jose Mourinho could not inflict a further setback on the Blues, as Giroud, who had a disallowed against Manchester United on Monday, made the most of his first league start of 2020.

Marcos Alonso – another of four Chelsea changes – brilliantly doubled his side’s lead shortly after half-time, and Lampard’s side held on despite a luckless late own goal fromm Antonio Rudiger.
