The Chelsea legend has his say on the Premier League leaders' 2-1 win against Tottenham Hotspur

Antonio Conte’s side were ahead in the 51st minute after Victor Moses scored his third goal of the 2016-17 campaign despite despite the efforts of Lloris and Jan Vertonghen on the goal-line.
Former Chelsea defender Cole tweeted throughout the London derby, singling out Rose’s absence as a key factor after Moses’ dominant performance.
