		</div><p>Chelsea extended their winning sequence to seven Premier League games, coming from behind once again to extend Tottenham&#8217;s 26-year wait for victory at Stamford Bridge. </p>
<p><i>Not since Gary Lineker scored the winner in February 1990 have Spurs won at Chelsea and the visitors suffered their first loss of the season as Antonio Conte&#8217;s Blues responded from conceding a first Premier League goal in 601 minutes.</p>
<p>Pedro&#8217;s sublime strike cancelled out Christian Eriksen&#8217;s superb opener and Victor Moses struck what proved to be the winner in a 2-1 success for Chelsea, who have not lost to Spurs at home in 30 games.</b></p>
<p>Spurs&#8217; worries are about more than just facing Chelsea, though. Mauricio Pochettino&#8217;s men now have just one win in 10 games in all competitions.</p>
<p>Pochettino was keen to move on from May&#8217;s implosion at Stamford Bridge, when Spurs conceded a two-goal lead in a bad-tempered contest which confirmed Leicester as champions and afterwards saw both sides disciplined by the Football Association.</p>
<p>Chelsea head coach Conte, likewise, wanted his side to focus on the here and now, not seven months previously or dreaming of future glory.</p>
<p>Tottenham initially responded well to their Champions League elimination, pressing high and forcing Chelsea to retreat.</p>
<p>Harry Kane was proving a nuisance. The striker was fouled for two early free-kicks, the first of which resulted in him finding the net from Eriksen&#8217;s set-piece, only for the strike to be ruled out for offside. Eric Dier shot over from the second.</p>
<p>Spurs struck when Dele Alli, excellent in the first half, sucked David Luiz out from the centre of Chelsea&#8217;s three-man defense.</p>
<p><a href="http://londonglossy.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/ChelseavTottenhamNov2016_large.jpg"><img src="http://londonglossy.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/ChelseavTottenhamNov2016_large.jpg" alt="chelseavtottenhamnov2016_large" width="600" height="325" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-100117" /></a></p>
<p>Alli accepted the contact but had already shifted the ball on to Eriksen who fired in a brilliant strike from the edge of the area.</p>
<p>It was the first goal Chelsea had conceded since Arsenal&#8217;s third in the 40th minute of the Gunners&#8217; win on September 24 in a match which prompted Conte to switch to a 3-4-3 formation.</p>
<p>Luiz, so consistently good in Chelsea&#8217;s winning run, caught Kane late and was booked as Tottenham continued to pile on the pressure.</p>
<p>It was Luiz who had Chelsea&#8217;s first shot, a free-kick straight at Hugo Lloris after 30 minutes, while Spurs peppered Thibaut Courtois&#8217; goal, mainly with strikes from distance, and tested his distribution.</p>
<p>Chelsea eventually found space, but Eden Hazard shot tamely, before Spurs granted Pedro too much room on the edge of the area.<br />
He punished them, turning before netting a fine curling effort.</p>
<p>Conte had watched May&#8217;s match from afar when Italy boss and described it on Friday as a game of two halves.</p>
<p>His Chelsea were determined to dominate the second here, with N&#8217;Golo Kante shooting straight at Lloris before Costa tore down the left channel.</p>
<p>He held off Mousa Dembele and cut the ball back across goal. Moses, free on the right, met it and his shot went in off the covering Jan Vertonghen.</p>
<p>Costa attempted to repeat the trick moments later, this time from the right. Another cutback found Marcos Alonso, but he lifted the ball high over the crossbar from 12 yards.</p>
<p>Eriksen improvised to meet a Kane cross, but Courtois held, and next Alli sliced wildly wide from Kane&#8217;s pass.</p>
<p>Costa headed wide an Alonso cross and substitute Willian blasted another over as Chelsea beat Spurs again.</p>
