59' - Chance for Chelsea!
Cesc Fabregas picks Andreas Christensen out in the box with a wonderful cross but the Chelsea defender doesn't get enough on his header and the ball travels wide of Hugo Lloris' near post.
61' - Super save.
Son Heung-min curls a left-footed shot towards the top corner of Willy Caballero's goal but Chelsea's back-up keeper springs to his right to and palms the ball behind for a corner, which comes to nothing for the visitors.
GOAL! Chelsea 1-2 Spurs (Alli, 63)
That's another superb Tottenham goal.
Eric Dier's long through ball to Dele Alli is expertly controlled and finished - almost in the same movement - by the Spurs youngster.
(Think Luis Suarez against Newcastle in 2012).
GOAL! Chelsea 1-3 Spurs (Alli, 66)
Two goals in four minutes for Dele Alli and Tottenham as the youngster rounds off a game of pinball in the box with a slotted left-footed finish that beats Willy Caballero all ends up!
72' - Cesc Fabregas almost picks out Alvaro Morata in the box for a tap-in but Jan Vertonghen makes a crucial, last-minute intervention to turn the ball behind for a corner.
78' - Time is running out for Chelsea to salvage something from this match now and they don't really look like doing so.
The sight of Harry Kane coming on won't have improved Antonio Conte's mood either.
Kane has replaced Son Heung-min for the visitors.
82' - Victor Wanyama replaces Mousa Dembele for Spurs, while Olivier Giroud and Emerson are on in place of Victor Moses and Marcos Alonso for Chelsea.
