Twitter goes berserk as Tottenham beat Chelsea 3-1 at Stamford Bridge

It is always an exhilarating affair when Chelsea play Tottenham and the match that we all looked forward to didn't disappoint at all. Tottenham had a 5 point advantage heading into the fixture and it was a match that Chelsea simply could not afford to lose, but that was not the case.

Alvaro Morata gave Chelsea the lead in the 30th minute as he headed past Hugo Lloris who badly mistimed an attempted punch to Victor Moses' cross. However, Christian Eriksen equalised in the 46th minute with a simply sensational strike from a long way out. The teams headed into the break level.

The second half continued in the similar end to end fashion with both teams wary of the implications of a defeat. Spurs took the lead as Dele Alli exquisitely put the ball into the back of the net in the 62nd minute as he was found by Eric Dier's delightful ball over the top.

He then doubled his tally four minutes later after a scramble in the box sending the away fans into delirium, Chelsea fought back, but in vain!

Spurs claim a historic win against their rivals as they beat Chelsea for the first time at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League era to go 8 points clear of fifth-placed Chelsea.

Here's how Twitter reacted:

The goals first:

Morata giving us the lead, he needed that goal.

Twitter praised Spurs and Alli:

Zappacosta needs to come on at halftime I'm actually sick and tired of Moses, he can't defend nor attack. His assist to Morata was due to poor Lloris.

Love how gassed Arsenal & Chelsea fans get when Lacazette & Morata score. Either of them scoring is such a rarity that they celebrate it like they’ve won the league 😭

Jamie Redknapp, "Spurs are in control here"

Morata scores. Chelsea 1-0 Spurs.

All in the same minute.

Finally Moses crosses a ball and it's a goal from Morata. Nice build up play from Rudiger. #CHETOT

Brilliant goal from Eriksen levels things on the stroke of halftime, and Spurs could possibly win at Stamford Bridge for the first time since some big-eared goal-hanger scored the winner around 300 years ago.

I love Eriksen. He’s so, so good. Goes unnoticed so much in this team until he goes and produces something like that. When he’s on top of his game, there aren’t many players you’d choose over him in world football. Not up for debate.

Tottenham Hotspur are absolutely running riot at Stamford Bridge and Dele Alli is the star of the show.

Conte has destroyed our great records singlehandedly. Embarrassed and ashamed to be a Chelsea fan. Worst manager we have had in Roman era.
