Chelsea kicked-off their 2015 title campaign on a sad note after
suffering their worst defeat of the season to Tottenham in a pulsating
5-3 encounter on Thursday night.
The Blues took the lead in the 18th minute when Diego Costa fired home
a pass from Oscar before Harry Kane who put up a scintilating display
on Thursday night scored in the 30th minute to take Tottenham level.
In another quick session, Danny Rose netted to give the host the lead
in the 44th minute before Andros Townsend fired home in a penalty
during additional time to give the Spurs a comfortable 3-1 lead into the
half-time.
Few minutes into the second half, Harry Kane scored again in the
52th minute to record a brace before Nacer Chadli scored in the 78th
minute to hand the Spurs a comfortable 5-3 victory in their first game
of 2015.
Eden Hazard's 61th minute and John Terry 87th minute strikes were
not enough to earn Jose Mourinho's men a point.
Meanwhile Manchester City recorded a 3-2 victory over Sunderland
thanks to Frank Lampard's late goal in a match earlier in the day to
level up with Chelsea on top of the table with 46 points.
