Luka Modrić's Goal Vs. Chelsea: Spurs 1 Chelsea 0






Watching Aaron Lennon on the right side mesmerizing part of the Chelsea defense left a wide swath of midfield open, more than enough space for a cross to a wide open Luka Modrić to quickly blast a shot by Petr Cech. It could have been 2-0 to Spurs a couple of minutes later on a similar play, but Modrić drilled that one straight into the turf. Still that goal was enough to give the home side a well-deserved win at White Hart Lane today in an exciting match for Spurs fans.



Heurelho Gomes played a critical part in the win, with some vital saves throughout the game, though the one-handed swat of a John Terry shot late in the game will be the one fans recall. Luck was also on Spurs side as Alex had a wide-open shot hit the top of the woodwork moments later. After all of the crap Spurs have been through this year, it felt great to have the three points as a reward for a job done, for Spurs were the dominant side for the majority of game, and it took the last 15 minutes or so for the Blues to get untracked.



Undefeated against Chelsea for the season, gonna have to do some research to find out the last time that happened. COYS!!!!
