Chelsea responded from the humiliating opening to their title defence by extending Tottenham’s Wembley woe with a 2-1 victory in the first Premier League clash at the national stadium.

Marcos Alonso scored twice for the visitors as Antonio Conte’s men, champions in May, responded from the opening home loss to Burnley.
Alonso’s first-half free-kick was cancelled out by Michy Batshuayi’s own goal eight minutes from time, but Alonso struck again to finish Spurs, whose record since Wembley reopened in 2007 reads played 11, won two, lost eight.
