Spurs sunk by rampant Blues

Chelsea remained top of the Barclays Premier League after a 3-0 demolition of London rivals Tottenham at Stamford Bridge.Ashley Cole put the Blues on the way to a comfortable victory with a first-half header and Michael Ballack made it two in the 57th minute following good work after Frank Lampard had cut the ball back from the byline.Didier Drogba finished Spurs off with a third in the 62nd minute to make it six straight wins for the Blues and leave them three points clear of Manchester United at the summit.To make matters worse for Spurs they lost both Ledley King and Sebastien Bassong through injury to leave Harry Redknapp with a defensive crisis.There was bad news for Chelsea, too, as Drogba exited seven minutes from time with a calf problem.
