Chelsea consolidated their position at the top of the EPL table by inflicting a first Premier League defeat of the season on Tottenham with a 2-1 victory at Stamford Bridge.

First Manchester City and then Liverpool had taken over first place during Saturday's matches.

However, it was the Blues who finished the evening one point ahead again after coming from behind as Spurs lost in the league for the first time in 13 games.

Christian Eriksen fired Tottenham into the lead 10 minutes in with a fierce strike from the edge of the penalty area but that moment was to be Spurs' best.

Despite plenty of possession, the visitors could not find a second and Chelsea levelled just before halftime when Pedro cut inside from the left to curl a sublime finish past Hugo Lloris into the far left corner.

Chelsea went ahead early in the second half when, on 51 minutes, Victor Moses knocked the ball home after Diego Costa had pulled it back across the face of goal following a powerful run down the left.
