Marcos Alonso brought out the best from Hugo Lloris with a volley at the start of the second half and the resulting corner-kick ended in the back of the net.

The Italian left-back's cross was headed home by Silva who registered his first goal in Chelsea colours to make it 1-0.

Kante who last featured for the Blues in their 1-1 draw at Anfield was brought on for Mason Mount to score the second goal in the 57th minute.

The France international shot took a heavy deflection off Eric Dier as Lloris was left stranded in goal to make it 2-0.

Tottenham had to do more defending as Chelsea created the better chances as Timo Werner missed two chances after coming on as a substitute.

Rudiger sealed the win in the 92nd minute from a cut-back pass from Werner's short corner-kick to make it 3-0.
