Spurs sink Blues to reclaim fourth

17 April 2010 19:58

Jermain Defoe and Gareth Bale blew the Barclays Premier League title race wide open with goals in a 2-1 win against Chelsea that also put Tottenham back in the Champions League places.

Defoe tucked away from the penalty spot for his 24th of the season after John Terry handled in the area, then Bale followed up his midweek goal against Arsenal with another before the break at White Hart Lane.

Terry's miserable evening, after being involved in a verbal spat with a supporter at half-time, was capped off with a sending-off for two bookings. Frank Lampard pulled one back, but it was too late for Chelsea.
