Willian double see’s Chelsea consolidate top four spot

Lampard’s side came into the game with four defeats in their last five Premier League games, the Blues desperate to regain some form. Spurs had found some recent form since the appointment of Jose Mourinho and had the chance to leapfrog the Blues with a win.

Willian broke the deadlock in the 12th minute, the Brazilian driving himself into space on the edge of the box and firing the ball across the box into right corner.
