A Frank Lampard brace condemned Spurs to their first League defeat since November. The first was a highly controversial penalty while the second came very late in the game as Spurs pushed forward for an equaliser.

The penalty came 5 minutes before half time as Alexei Smertin went down as King came across to tackle. Looked like a dive and replays didn't do much to disprove that 1st impression as the Russian looked to have got tangled up in his own feet. Lampard made no mistake with the spotkick.

The nearest Spurs came to an equaliser was after an hour when Smertin sliced Defoe's corner across his own goal but it went agonisingly past the far post.

Halfway through the 2nd half King was shifted up front by Martin Jol. The continued absence of Kanoute meant it was very difficult to make the ball stick up front with Chelsea's defence looking as solid as it has done all season. King did have some limited success competing with the Blues' centrebacks but couldn't force any real chances. Interesting tactic by Jol though as he acknowledged the lack of height up front.

A cross from substitute Dean Marney found its way to Keane but having cut inside Duff he wasted the chance by firing over.

With time running out Gudjohnsen managed to get free down the left and pulled the ball back for the onrushing Lampard to put the result beyond doubt.

A disappointing way for our unbeaten run to come to an end. It never really looked like we would get anything from the game after they had got the 1st goal and the only real surprise was that they took so long to secure all 3 points.

MOTM:- King. Having put in some vital blocks and tackles at the back, the Spurs captain was then asked to lead the line for the last quarter of the game and did manage to unsettle Terry and Gallas with his aerial ability, which Keane and Defoe had failed to do up to that point.
