Chelsea made it seven successive Premier League victories and in turn ended Tottenham’s unbeaten league start after a 2-1 win at Stamford Bridge.

The Blues went into Saturday evening’s game in third following victories for Manchester City and Liverpool, but goals from Pedro and Victor Moses cancelled out Christian Eriksen’s opener for Spurs.

Antonio Conte’s side were second best for much of the first-half, but were much improved in the second, and deservedly picked up a tenth win of the campaign.
