Paulo Gazzaniga’s challenge branded ‘assault’ by Gary Neville as he gifts Chelsea penalty against Tottenham

The visiting Blues went 2-0 up just before half-time as Willian converted from the spot following a rash defensive effort from the Spurs keeper.

Frank Lampard’s side started excellently in their first fixture at the new home of their London rivals, seizing control early on.

Willian emphasised Chelsea’s opening dominance by firing home in the 12th minute.

The Blues successfully worked a short corner as the Brazilian cut inside the area and curled a fierce strike into the far corner.
