Chelsea closed to within five points of fourth-placed Spurs, but Mauricio Pochettino’s men also have a kinder run in than their London rivals. Joey Gudmundsson’s long-range effort was heading well wide until it deflected off Ashley Barnes to completely wrong-foot Chelsea ‘keeper Thibaut Courtois. Just minutes later, though, Chelsea retook the lead when Moses fired in low at Pope’s near post from Emerson Palmieri’s cross. Morata then stormed off the field in disgust at himself as he was replaced by Hazard for the final 20 minutes. But despite some delightful touches by the Belgian, Chelsea had to settle for victory by the finest of margins.
