Tottenham Hotspur earned a 1-1 draw against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Sunday afternoon. Spurs striker Darren Bent poached a point and ended Chelsea's perfect start to the season. Bent capitalised on a fortunate deflection before driving into the far corner just before half-time. Chelsea led through Juliano Belletti, but with Roman Pavlyuchenko signed from Spartak Moscow on Saturday, Bent's first goal of the campaign provided a reminder to Juande Ramos of what he can deliver.
Chelsea, who had looked dangerous in the first period, struggled to create any clear-cut openings after the break and only had two shots on target throughout the 90 minutes. A poor day for Scolari's men. The strength and skill in their midfield engine room did not overpower Tottenham and Nicolas Anelka did not get the sort of service he needs up front. Maybe they will not run away with the title as easily as some have tipped them to do.
Luiz Felipe Scolari meanwhile, is keen for his players to create more chances following Chelsea's 1-1 draw with Tottenham Hotspur. "Tottenham played very well and they are a team that plays football," Scolari told.
"We had more chances, but we made mistakes on the final shot and today we have not won, but I am satisfied with my team. I learned that sometimes we need more chances. In England, if you have only two or three shots on goal, you never win. We need to train more and have more penetration."
Though Chelsea dropped points in the Premier League for the first time this term, Scolari was not downhearted after the result. He added: "It's not disappointing. Both teams are strong and they marked in the middle and put five players in the middle. It's a difficult game, a tactical game, but the players tried the best and the draw I think they are happy and our team is happy."

huhu, aku tak tengok pun game ni sebab ke masjid & stay sampai abis 20 rakaat solat sunat tarawih. malam tu cuma sempat tengok game liverpool je sebab start lewat pukul 11. ala tu pun sebab abg ipar ajak. aku layan je.
tapi bagus gak tak tengok sebab tak la tension tgk chelsea seri. tapi ini tak bermakna aku kecewa dengan chelsea. eh.. i put my trust on big phil already. the confidence is still there. no need to worry man. bagi aku musim kalau chelsea tak berjaya capai kejayaan cemerlang, gemilang, terbilang pun takpe. sebab mereka nak menonjolkan corak permainan hebat dan menghiburkan lagi bergaya. jadi kena ambil masa sikit la. dengar tu encik roman! tapi keyakinan yang chelsea akan menang at least a trophy tu tetap ada beb..
GO CHELSEA!! (walaupun robinho tak join takde masalah punya)
