Deadly Dele is the difference for Spurs

Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 Chelsea

When Spurs play, my word they play!

A mixture of skill and strength was behind this superb and deserved home victory.

One which has tightened the betting odds in the race for the title; one which keeps more football betting options alive at the Premier League summit.

And how about this statistic sports betting fans:

Spurs have not lost a Premier League London derby at White Hart Lane under Mauricio Pochettino.

Before we all rush into what is a regular English trait of overreaction, it should not be forgotten Chelsea remain five points clear at the top and this is their first league defeat in 101 days.

They remain in the position all their other Premier League rivals crave.

What this result does do, however, is slightly open up the title race and ensure Arsenal’s run of 14 successive wins between February and August 2002 remains the English top flight record.

The man of this moment and indeed most moments over the Christmas and New Year period was again the man who delivered.

Someone who is arguably becoming the snip of the last decade.

Dele Alli, signed for an initial £5 million just under two years ago, provided the pivotal moments with two towering headers in what was always likely to be a tight contest.

Hard to think this talent, who took his tally to six goals in his last three games in just a week, is still only 20 years-old.

The reaction from Spurs fans as he left the pitch in the closing stages was spine-tingling.

Just as Man City had discovered on their trip to White Hart Lane in October, Spurs reproduced their intensity and energy against another big-hitter.

Like Chelsea, they may have only had two efforts on target, but such are the margins in encounters like this, the clinical finishing of Alli proved decisive.

This was Deadly Dele’s day and Spurs are back on song as the second half of the campaign begins.
