FACTS
•Chelsea have failed to win in their last six Premier League visits to White Hart Lane since a 2-0 victory in August 2005 with goals from Asier Del Horno and Damien Duff.
•Tottenham are unbeaten in nine matches in all competitions (W5, D4) since the opening-day defeat at Newcastle. They could register five successive league victories for the first time in 2012.
•Only in 2009-10 have Spurs had more points (15) after seven games of a Premier League campaign than they have this season.
•The north London side have lost just two of their last 22 league matches at White Hart Lane (W15, D5, L2).
•They are unbeaten in their last 20 Premier League home matches against fellow London opposition since a 3-1 defeat by Arsenal in September 2007.
•Chelsea's tally of 19 points out of a possible 21 represents their best start to a season since 2005-06, when they registered 10 wins and a draw in their opening 11 matches.
•Defeat by Tottenham would leave them with an identical record to the same stage last season when managed by Andre Villas-Boas (W6, D1, L1).

The thing I am most upset about is having to field a weakened team I really was looking forwards to seeing how we had progressed today but with players missing that was never going to happen

I missed the whole game as I had an early ko myself but from what I heard was we were good just before ht and after,went 2-1 up,tried to get more but caught on the counter twice then went all out to get a equaliser and got caught again.
So to then come on here and see people saying we were shiite. Can someone clear it up!?
