22 Feb 2020 11:02PMLONDON: Olivier Giroud and Marcos Alonso came in from the cold to inspire Chelsea's 2-1 win against Tottenham as the Blues cemented their grip on fourth place in the Premier League on Saturday .
The 33-year-old could have joined Tottenham had Chelsea signed a forward in January, but instead he netted his first club goal since August and his first in the Premier League since April. It was no more than they deserved after a vibrant performance that finally answered Lampard's call for a killer instinct in the final third.
Mourinho was spot on, with Lampard making four changes in a return to the system he predicted, but he could not come up with an effective solution. The rebound fell to Ross Barkley but his scuffed effort in the post and cannoned back to Giroud, who lashed a blistering strike past Lloris at his near post.Needlessly rushing off his line, Caballero completely missed the ball and Tottenham defender Japhet Tanganga prodded just wide.
