Tottenham Hotspur v Chelsea - Premier League

Chelsea earned their first three points of the season, beating Tottenham Hotspurs by 2-1, as the beleaguered defending champions overcame their loss against Burnley, while Spurs' curse at Wembley continued.

Marcos Alonso opened the scoring in the 24th minute with a superb free-kick to ensure Chelsea went into the second half with a 1-0 lead. Batshuayi gave Spurs a way back into the match with an own-goal from Christian Eriksen's free-kick in the 82nd minute, only for Alonso to capitalize on Hugo Lloris' error to score a late goal in the 88th minute and give Chelsea the win.

Here's how Twitter reacted:

2016/17: Spurs at White Hart Lane - 19 games, 0 losses
2017/18: Spurs at Wembley - 1 game, 1 loss already#TOTCHE

3,460 - If Harry Kane had a goal for every time someone says he's not scored in August, he'd have 3,460 goals so far this season. Voodoo.

Reasons to win today:
3. Fuck Chelsea
2. Winning rules
1. To stop hearing about the goddamn Wembley curse as soon as fucking possible

Pochettino looks to his bench wondering who could come on and score a goal for his side.

He sees Sissoko and Janssen looking back at him.

It could be the 'August hoodoo', the 'Wembley hoodoo', but it's odds on for the word 'hoodoo' to be used heavily tonight about Spurs.

Kane goes to kick the post in frustration, accidentally gets his foot tangled up in the net. Because, y'know, it's August.

Good run and finish from Michy

Sensational substitution from Conte. Batshuayi scores with practically his first touch.

Batshuayi, on for Morata, showing his teammate exactly how to head home from close range. #TOTCHE

33 - Roman Abramovich has just offer Spurs £33 million for the player who just scored their equaliser. Batty.

Can anyone tell me why Chelsea want Alex Sandro when they have Alonso?

Conte going wild in celebration as Alonso makes it 2-1. Lloris caught out badly, shot went under him. #TOTCHE

Chelsea should just play Marcos Alonso upfront instead of Morata

Spurs have now won as many Premier League matches at Wembley as they have Premier League titles.
