Dele Alli's doubles dampen Chelsea's chances of finishing in top four

But Pochettino's men broke that losing streak in some style and the Argentine revealed he made a tactical adjustment at half-time, moving Eriksen into a deeper role.

The Blues had been the better side for most of the first period, and took a deserved lead on the half hour mark when Spain global striker Alvaro Morata headed home from close range.

Christian Eriksen's wonder strike levelled in first-half stoppage time, before Alli took centre stage to end a barren run by his standards with two smart finishes just after the hour mark. The Italian, who won the title in his first season, is facing the risk of being dismissed at the end of his second campaign after an alarming slump to fifth.

"For me, it was just about helping the team as much as I can". But he has nothing to show to me or Tottenham. It's more about the expectation being so high.

Alli controlled Eric Dier's marvellous ball over the top with a sublime first touch and produced a finish to match as he lifted the ball over Caballero and in off the post.

He said: "We are happy for our supporters, after 28 years, to win here again".

Joe Forrester, who captured it all on camera, told the Daily Mail: "Chelsea fans all came running out of the hotel bar when Spurs fans came past and it went from there. We feel very proud".

Conte kicked his water bottles on the touchline in frustration after Dele Alli netted with the second of his two goals.

Spurs trailed 1-0 after a goal in the 30th minute from Chelsea's Alvaro Morata.

Chelsea's hopes of qualifying for next season's Champions League was shattered last night, as they suffered a defeat against Tottenham Hotspur.

At the Emirates Stadium, Arsenal warmed up for Thursday's crucial Europa League quarter-final against CSKA Moscow with three goals in the final 15 minutes against second bottom Stoke.
