Chelsea closed the gap on Man Utd to just 3 points with a controversial 2-1 victory over Tottenham at Stamford Bridge. Tottenham took the lead in spectacular fashion when defensive midfielder Sandro smashed past Cech from 25 yards, before getting a rollicking from Harry Redknapp for venturing too far forward! The games first controversial moment arrived just before half time, Lampard hitting a speculative 25 yard effort straight at Gomes only for the keeper to spill the ball through his legs. Gomes got a hand to the ball as it crept over the line but the goal was given by the linesman, however replays showed the whole ball hadn’t crossed the line.
With little over 2 minutes left on the clock the second controversy arrived as Kalou poked home from close range to score the winner, but again replays showed the officials got it wrong as the Chelsea man was in an offside position. Watch highlights below…
0-1 Sandro
1-1 Lampard
2-1 Kalou
