Tottenham wins, 2-1! This was the best EPL match I've seen all year.

Spurs went ahead early in the secon half. Robbie Keane beat Boulahrouz twice on the left side of the field in succession, then crossed the ball, which was deflected to Lennon. Lennon controlled the ball, beat Ashley Cole to the left and put a strong lefty shot past Hilario. Fantastic sequence. Lennon is a dazzling player, and (with Theo Walcott) the future of English football.

From the second Tottenham goal until around minute 75, Chelsea seemed rattled. Terry even lost his famous cool and got tossed after some tangling and harsh words in the aftermath of a Chelsea corner. Around minute 75 the Blues, with only ten men, regained their composure and looked offensively menacing. But they couldn't equalize.

The entire match was played at a blistering pace, and was a joy to watch...unlike Liverpool's workmanlike win over Reading yesterday. A 2-0 win is a 2-0 win, but the Reds' win was certainly not one I'd watch again.
