LONDON， Jan. 4 (Xinhua) -- Chelsea's dream of winning a record 14th successive Premier League victories were dashed as they were beaten by Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 at White Hart Lane on Wednesday.
Midfielder Dele Alli scored both goals for Mauricio Pochettino's side， taking his tally to seven goals in four matches.
Spurs moved up to third place with 42 points， overtaking Manchester City with superior goal difference. Chelsea， who suffered their last loss at Arsenal three months ago， still led the table with 49 points， five more than second-placed Liverpool.
Alli rose to meet Christian Eriksen's cross in first-half stoppage time and doubled the lead in the 54th minute with a second header.
Eden Hazard wasted Chelsea's two best chances in each half and had to witness the home side take their fifth victory in a row.
Pochettino said: "It is a massive victory， a very important three points to reduce the gap at the top of the table. It was a very tough game， we were playing one of the best teams in Europe， so the value of the victory is massive.
"It makes us very proud and we showed character and were competitive. It is one step forward for the team and is important to keep going. Football is about belief.
"We have shown we can challenge for the big things. We are in a good position， Chelsea is in a very good position， but we are fighting to get points and to reduce the gap above us."
Chelsea manager Antonio Conte said: "I saw a game with a great balance. It is not easy to play against Tottenham. But we played with a good personality to create the chances to score a goal， but we could not take them.
"It is strange for us to concede these goals because we are defending well， and they are in a crucial moment. At the end of the first half and then in the second half after we miss the chances to score， but this can happen.
"We must work hard and be pleased with our position in the table， but know this league is tough until the end for the Champions League， for the title."
PARIS ECCO Homme Yucatan Sandales Wild Dove Titanium Noir , June 30 (Xinhua) -- Bahrain's Ruth Jebet wanted to repeat her feat in the IAAF Diamond League Paris meeting one year ago to improve on current world record.

"At the beginning of the season ECCO Homme Yucatan Sandales Tarmac Moon Rock , I found it hard to jump (due to injury) in February. It was not easy when I tried to come back. I had great training in April, and I wanted to start the competition in May, that's why I went to Shanghai," explained Lavillenie, men's indoor world record holder at 6.16m.
"During the last days or weeks, the conditions were not too good ECCO Homme Yucatan Sandales Bison Noir , with wind and rain, and I could not use the full run away.

"I say ECCO Homme Yucatan Sandales Noir Mole , 'I jumped six meters, so I am the most prepared'. I may eat my words," said the American rising star.
"How many times have you jumped six meters now?" he asked Lavillenie.
"17," responded the Frenchman.
"17 times, right? By my calculation, there are 17 times that he did better than I ECCO Homme Yucatan Sandales Tarmac Noir ," commented Kendricks, while adding that he could gain confidence from the result.
"I knew that I could cross the bar approaching the championship very consistently. The important point about my competition in Sacramento was not that I jumped six meters, but that I jumped all the way through, so jumping in a consistent way really matters," he pointed out.
Qatar's high jumper Mutaz Barshim set the season best at 2.38m, and boasted the best five performances this year.
"Obviously ECCO Homme Intrinsic Sandales Wild Dove , the main goal this season is the world championships in London, but it's not the only goal. This season I want to have a different and specific approach for every single competition," he said.
