Spurs sunk by rampant Blues

Sun, 20 Sep 18:15:37 2009

Chelsea remained top of the Barclays Premier League after a 3-0 demolition of London rivals Tottenham at Stamford Bridge.

Ashley Cole put the Blues on the way to a comfortable victory with a first-half header and Michael Ballack made it two in the 57th minute following good work after Frank Lampard had cut the ball back from the byline.

Didier Drogba finished Spurs off with a third in the 62nd minute to make it six straight wins for the Blues and leave them three points clear of Manchester United at the summit.

To make matters worse for Spurs they lost both Ledley King and Sebastien Bassong through injury to leave Harry Redknapp with a defensive crisis.

There was bad news for Chelsea, too, as Drogba exited seven minutes from time with a calf problem.

  4. no mention of the penalty not awarded to Keane at a­ crucial point in the game, but unfortunately Spurs are­ very brittle defensively, as they have been for several­ years now.Looks like the great start to the season was­ misleading and Spurs are no stronger than last season.­ Will it end up as another season of failure?
