Gary Lineker reacts to Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga’s foul on Chelsea’s Marco Alonso

Tottenham Hotspur suffered their first home Premier League defeat of Jose Mourinho’s reign at the hands of Chelsea on Sunday.

Frank Lampard’s men scored twice in the opening 45 minutes, and Spurs’ woes were further compounded 17 minutes into the second-half when Son Heung-min was shown his marching orders for violent conduct on Antonio Rudiger.

Tottenham were caught napping for Chelsea’s first goal, with Willian making the most of some uninspiring defending from the hosts to open the scoring 12 minutes into the game.

Goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga made things worse on the stroke of half-time, making a meal of a long ball into his box and lunging himself at Marco Alonso while attempting to clear.
