Chelsea's already profitable week looked like getting a whole lot better as Palace doggedly kept Tottenham at bay for 78 minutes but Christian Eriksen's unstoppable blast meant they are once again looking over their shoulders. With five games remaining Chelsea, who beat Tottenham in the FA Cup semi-final on Saturday and Southampton in the league on Tuesday, both by 4-2 scorelines, lead Tottenham by four points. "It was good to get the three points and be alive in the race for the title," Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino, aiming to deliver a first title since 1961, said. Huth deflected in Nacho Monreal's volley in the 86th minute to earn a win which put the Gunners sixth, above Everton, three points behind Manchester United and four points behind fourth-placed Manchester City. With 74 points -- a new club record in the Premier League -- Tottenham look virtually guaranteed a top-four finish but they are clearly not finished yet.
