Dele Alli Tottenham Chelsea
The result means Antonio Conte's side are now eight points behind fourth-place Spurs with just seven league games remaining, but Alli does not think the race for the Champions League places has been settled.
He failed to start either of England's friendlies against the Netherlands and Italy during the global break but in his 100th Premier League game for Tottenham, he showed exactly what makes him so dangerous.Christian Eriksen's piledriver had cancelled out Alvaro Morata's opener for Chelsea before Alli, who was quiet in the first half when he was mocked by the home fans, took centre stage in deadly fashion.
However, Chelsea couldn't hold their lead until the break as in first-half stoppage time the ever risky Eriksen took aim from 25 yards and his fierce dipping effort clipped the bar on its way past Willy Caballero.
Alli had scored just two goals in his previous 19 games in 2018 but soon had as many in four minutes as Spurs set the seal in a hugely symbolic win.
Tottenham could even afford the luxury of doing the damage without Harry Kane, who made his return from a three-week layoff with ankle ligament damage 16 minutes from time. It's been a tough period for him, but for no doubt about his talent, his character. "There is a lot of pressure on his shoulders".
If Tottenham can see off the Red Devils, like they did comfortably on January 31, it will only add to the growing confidence of the group and continue to show everyone on the outside progress is being made. "It's more about the expectation being so high".
Tottenham Hotspur outclassed Chelsea in their backyard for the first time in 28 years.

Jose Mourinho's carrot and stick approach to his Manchester United players must be wearisome to them as it is certainly to the fans.
Chelsea legend Clive Walker has urged Blues fans to have a sense of perspective following their 3-1 home defeat against Tottenham Hotspur, pointing out that Spurs have won nothing in recent seasons. He's a young player with a really good prospect but he needs to improve in many aspects. We can't get carried away. "For me, it was a chance to get a couple of weeks' break, refresh the other muscles, and get ready for the business end of the season. In this season we are not so clinical and then we lost the game".
Antonio Conte looks like he isn't long for Stamford Bridge, if the latest comments after the loss to Tottenham are anything to go by.
"Conte can't wait to leave Chelsea", ex-Chelsea boss and former Juventus striker Vialli told Sky Sport Italia.
With Champions League qualification looking highly unlikely, and a season in the Europa League seeming inevitable barring a complete meltdown, it is that meeting with Southampton at Wembley which will become the focus. We deserve to be there.
The deadlock was broken in the 75th minute by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang from the penalty spot after Bruno Martins Indi was penalised for fouling Mesut Ozil despite appearing to win the ball.
