Nobody gets four against Jose Mourinho�s Chelsea. No, seriously, they don�t. It hasn�t happened in two terms here. So when Harry Kane left Nemanja Matic, by popular consent the most consistent defensive midfield player of the season so far, on his backside and finished smartly past Thibaut Courtois, Tottenham Hotspur were in uncharted territory.
And then they got five. Yes, five. Five past a Mourinho-mean defence. Five past John Terry and the man mountains surrounding him. Five past a team that seven days ago appeared to be in command of the Premier League, after back to back seasonal victories away at Stoke City and at home to West Ham United. Chelsea had the toughest Christmas programme but looked to be making mincemeat of it. Even the draw at Southampton was unfortunate.
