Alonso Double Sinks Spurs in Wembley DebutChelsea manager Antonio Conte outmanoeuvred Spurs counterpart Mauricio Pochettino in a battle of wits at Wembley, where the absences of Eden Hazard, Cesc Fabregas and Gary Cahill didn't prevent the Blues from taking maximum points.Alonso took the game by the scruff of the neck and curled home a superb free-kick from the right edge of Tottenham's area after 24 minutes, via Squawka:Tiemoue Bakayoko made his debut for the Blues in a midfield that also contained David Luiz, while Andreas Christensen made his first start of the season at centre-back, with Cesar Azpilicueta and Antonio Rudiger either side.Harry Kane hit the crossbar shortly before half-time and had chances to score, but it wasn't until substitute Batshuayi headed in an own-goal from a Christian Eriksen free-kick in the 82nd minute.Match of the Daypresenter Gary Lineker saw the funny side:Tottenham stayed level for all of six minutes, however, when Luiz won possession in midfield before the ball found its way to Alonso, who steamed into the box before lashing a second past Hugo Lloris inside the box.Chelsea's first win of the season provides relief following a shock defeat to Burnley in last Saturday's opener, while Tottenham's tenure at Wembley has gotten off to a regretful start.
