Chelsea roared back from two goals down to beat Tottenham 4-3 on Sunday, moving just four points behind Premier League leaders Liverpool after Arsenal were held 1-1 by Fulham.

The Gunners and Chelsea both started the day seven points behind Arne Slot’s Liverpool, whose game this weekend was postponed due to stormy conditions.

Arsenal were forced to settle for a 1-1 draw but Enzo Maresca’s Chelsea, kicking off later Sunday, mounted a stunning comeback at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Dominic Solanke and Dejan Kulusevski put Tottenham two goals up inside 11 minutes but Jadon Sancho quickly pulled one back with a fine strike and the second half belonged to the visitors.

Cole Palmer equalised from the penalty spot in the 61st minute, Enzo Fernandez put Chelsea ahead 12 minutes later and Palmer chipped in another spot-kick before Son Heung-min added a late third for Spurs.

Second-placed Chelsea now have 31 points after 15 games, two points ahead of London rivals Arsenal. Liverpool, with a game in hand, are on 35 points.

But it is a disastrous result for Spurs, who hammered champions Manchester City 4-0 late last month.

Ange Postecoglou’s men have now lost seven of their 15 Premier League games and are languishing in 11th place in the table.
