Tottenham have maintained the edge over Chelsea in the
Premier League's top four, holding their London rivals to a 1-1
draw to retain a two-point cushion in third.
Emmanuel Adebayor fired the hosts ahead after eight minutes
but the sting was taken out of Tottenham's fast start when
Daniel Sturridge leveled 15 minutes later.
Despite a double-injury blow for Chelsea in the first half -
losing both Branislav Ivanovic and John Obi Mikel - Tottenham
lacked the fluency to produce a winner against the makeshift
visitors.
Chelsea's second successive draw left them just a point above
fifth-place Arsenal and 11 points behind leader Manchester
City.
