plenty to come, but we start with the big match we saw the premier league's festive period come to a close and it could well throw the title race wide open, as tottenham hotspur ended leaders chelsea's13—match winning run in the premier league. our sports correspondent, natalie pirks, is outside a rather happy white hart lane this evening. natalie — chelsea are finally beaten. yes, and what an achievement it was. first of all, for them to equal arsenal's record of 13 games, but how they would have loved to have done it here at the home of their london rivals. spurs fans were having none of it. they are very happy on the streets of white hart lane tonight. let's look at how the match was won. now only spurs could

stop them reaching the record of match was won. now only spurs could stop them reaching the record 01:14 consecutive winds in a season. eden hazard had an opportunity to see them off on his right foot. at times, it seemed chelsea couldn't quite agree onjust times, it seemed chelsea couldn't quite agree on just how to get there. whilst they were proud about their route, it was tottenham charting their own course. kristian erikson the first to go close. much of the talk had been of chelsea's extraordinary run, but that of dele alli has not gone unnoticed either. still, the second—half to come. for chelsea, the record began to feel further away. their chances limited to just further away. their chances limited tojust a further away. their chances limited to just a few. dele alli seemed almost unstoppable. his and spurs'

second more than enough to win. the blues' success ending at white hat lane, but where these sides go from here is what really matters. white hart lane used to be known as three point lane to chelsea fans, such was their dominance here, but in the last decade they have only won once here in the league, so it wasn't the walkover that some chelsea fans had predicted. chelsea didn't play as well as they have. let's hear of it 110w well as they have. let's hear of it now from both managers, mauricio pochettino and antonio conte. now from both managers, mauricio pochettino and antonio contelj think it pochettino and antonio conte.|j think it is a massive victory. a very important three points giroud use very important three points giroud use the gap to the top of the table. i think it was a very tough game. we we re i think it was a very tough game. we were playing one of the best teams in europe, so the value of the victory is massive. we conceded

goals in two crucial moments, at the end of the first half, and then in the second half, when we missed different chances to equalise. we conceded another goal, another similar goal. it's a pity, but it's important to know that this can happen. it's important now to restart, to continue to work very hard, to try to improve everyday. restart, to continue to work very hard, to try to improve everydaym isa hard, to try to improve everydaym is a huge win for spurs, but it really puts the cat amongst the pigeons in terms of the premier league table. it has cut chelsea's ten point lead over spurs tojust seven points, and it has leapfrogged spurs into third place, above arsenal and manchester city. really shaking things up there in the league. it has restored belief that

spurs can go on to do perhaps what they did last season, that title charge that just fell flat they did last season, that title charge thatjust fell flat in the end. they are better off in terms of points than they were this season. for chelsea, a great record for them to have equalled. they said, we go again. where have we heard that before? steven gerrard said that quite infamously in that slip—up that liverpool had when it looked like the title was absolutely heading their way. that will not be crumbs of comfort for chelsea fans. naturally they are very happy indeed down there at white hart lane. everton winger yannick bolasie could be out for a year with a knee injury, according to manager ronald koeman. bolasie signed from crystal palace for £25 million in august. he injured his right knee during everton's1—1 draw with manchester united last month. sunderland have turned down a £6 million bid from west ham forjermain defoe. defoe has scored 11 goals this season — including two in his side's draw
