Olivier Giroud on target as Chelsea claim vital win over Tottenham

Oliver Giroud, Marcos Alonso scored to spoil Tottenham Hotspur coach Jose Mourinho’s return to Stamford Bridge in a Premier League clash on Saturday Chelsea beat Spurs 2-1.

The win also helped Chelsea manager Frank Lampard keep his 100 per cent record against Mourinho as a manager intact.

Lampard’s Chelsea opened the scoring in the 15th-minute of the match when Giroud beat Hugo Lloris at the near post to score his first Premier League goal since last April.
