Chelsea vs Tottenham: Boastful Mourinho humbled by Lampard
Chelsea boss Frank Lampard humbled his former coach, Jose Mourinho, at the Stamford Bridge on Saturday by masterminding a crucial 2-1 win over Tottenham.
Olivier Giroud and Marcos Alonso fired the Blues to a victory which strengthens their hold on fourth place.
In his pre-match press conference, a boastful Mourinho had claimed he had been told the tactics Chelsea will be using against the Spurs.
He had said the Blues were switching to a back five for the fixture, and while that was proved correct, Spurs were unable to prevent Giroud (15) from scoring his first Premier League goal of the season or Alonso (48) capping a move which involved all four line-up changes made by Lampard.
While Spurs pulled one back late on when Erik Lamela’s effort was deflected in by Antonio Rudiger (89), it could have been worse for the visitors had Giovani Lo Celso not been controversially let off by a VAR check when he appeared to stamp on Cesar Azpilicueta. Officials at Stockley Park later announced ‘human error’ had caused them not to send off the midfielder.
