We all knew Chelsea's run could come to an end against Tottenham, but we surely didn't know the part Dele Alli would play in the game.
A couple of headers by the English footballer sealed the deal for Mauricio Pochettino's crew, ending Chelsea's 14-game winning streak. Tottenham now owns a six-game winning streak, and these three points propel them to the EPL's third spot, surpassing Manchester City and Arsenal.
Alli's first header came as time expired in the first half, and his second goal came just nine minutes later. Chelsea, despite trying, wasn't able to get back in the game and saw their EPL lead cut short, being Liverpool their closest competitor.
But Alli's performance was all that Tottenham's supporters wanted to talk about. Have a look at their best comments by scrolling down.
6 - Dele Alli has now scored 6 goals in his last 4 PL apps; as many as he netted in his previous 26 apps in the competition combined. Form.
