Marcos Alonso scored twice as Chelsea claimed a 2-1 win to leave Tottenham Hotspur rueing missed chances in their first Premier League match at Wembley Stadium.
After Alvaro Morata headed wide from close-range on his full PL debut for Chelsea, Alonso curled in an exquisite free-kick to put the Blues 1-0 up on 24 minutes.
Spurs pushed for an equaliser from then on, with Harry Kane hitting the post and narrowly failing to connect with Christian Eriksen’s free-kick before heading wide after the break.
Not long after Willian hit the post for the Blues, Spurs did level as Batshuayi headed into his own net from Eriksen’s free-kick in the 82nd minute.
But Alonso struck again six minutes later, beating Hugo Lloris from a tight angle, as the champions earned the first win of the title defence, matching Spurs with three points from two fixtures.
