Oscar scored a first half brace and Eden Hazard and Didier Drogba each converted penalties as Chelsea rose to 3rd in the Premier League table with a convincing 4-1 win at White Hart Lane against their London rivals from Spurs. The match turned in the 36th minute when a poor challenge by Kyle Walker took down Hazard in the area. Walker was sent off and Hazard put the ensuing penalty past Hugo Lloris to give Chelsea a 2-0 lead.
