A win would have seen Spurs move level on points with the Blues, but they have found themselves six points adrift of the Champions League zone after falling to Willian’s brace.
It dealt a huge blow on Tottenham heading into the halfway mark of the campaign, but there are still 20 more games to go and more than enough time left for the North Londoners to put themselves back into the top-four picture.
The English top-flight remains unpredictable when it comes to results, but Spurs are beginning to show they are capable of putting the “small” teams to the sword once again.
