Former Tottenham Hotspur defender and club legend, Ledley King, has taken to social networking site Twitter to express his reaction after Spurs defeated London rivals Chelsea on Sunday.
Spurs won 3-1 against the Blues and earned their first victory away to Chelsea for the first time in 28 years. King tweeted:

Alvaro Morata gave Chelsea the lead in the 30th minute, but Spurs restored parity on the stroke of half-time thanks to a stunning long range goal from Christian Eriksen.
After the break, two quick goals from Dele Alli killed the competition completely.
Mauricio Pochettino praised Alli for coming through a “tough period”. It was a perfect response by Alli after a disappointing couple of weeks with England on international duty.
Alli was left on the bench for England’s 1-1 draw with Italy and were raised about whether he has the mentality to handle big game pressure.
Former Spurs player and now a popular football pundit, Jermaine Jenas, gave his full support to Alli. He tweeted:
He’s having a bad season they said, drop him from the England team they said! Dele’s response… ⚽⚽???? pic.twitter.com/iXMYBqKqxM

Spurs remain fourth in the Premier League table, and move eight points clear of Chelsea, who are in fifth.
