Chelsea strengthened their hold on a Premier League top-four place on Saturday by beating London rivals Tottenham 2-1 but Sheffield United missed the chance to boost their case for Champions League football next season.
Fringe players Olivier Giroud and Marcos Alonso were recalled by Lampard and both rewarded their manager’s confidence by scoring in the home win. Chelsea doubled their advantage three minutes into the second half, Alonso drilling in a first-time shot after being set up by Barkley. Tottenham boss Mourinho unsurprisingly side-stepped questions about the tackle, preferring to talk about previous VAR decisions that he felt went against his team.
City hope to have their appeal against the ban heard by the Court of Arbitration for Sport before the start of next season. Burnley beat Bournemouth 3-0 to win for the fourth time in five Premier League matches and lift themselves to eighth in the table.
