Dele Alli recorded a brace as Tottenham Hotspur ended Chelsea's attempt at Premier League history with a 2-0 victory over the frontrunners Wednesday night at White Hart Lane. Looking to set the single-season league record with a 14th consecutive victory, Chelsea (16-1-3) saw their good fortunes halted by a Spurs side that's now won five in a row. The Blues were also trying to match Arsenal's overall league winning streak of 14 straight triumphs that covered the 2001-02 and 2002-03 seasons.
