What a game of football it was with Chelsea proving to be very ruthless with their finishing against Tottenham at the Wembley Stadium.
Chelsea opened the scoring in the 5th minutes from a brilliant Willian freekick as Pedro was fouled by Toby Alderweireld 20 yards from goal.
Spurs almost get back into the game but N'golo Kante was alert to block Harry Kane's shot and the ball went out for a corner.
Tottenham did found their equaliser in the 18th minutes when Harry Kane brilliantly flicked header into the far coner made it 1-1.
Eric Dier came close to giving Spurs the lead as he leapt to meet Vertonghen's cross but his header going narrowly wide.
Two minutes before half-time Chelsea where 2-1 up. Son Heung-min bringing down Victor Moses inside the penalty box and Willian made no mistake from the spot.
Spurs started the second-half strongly and equalised through Dele Alli who poke home Christian Eriksen's superb cross past Courtois.
Conte had to ring the changes bringing on both Hazard and Diego Costa for Willian and Michy Batshuayi.
The Belgian repaid his manager's faith with 15 minutes left, drilling a low shot into the bottom corner as Tottenham failed to clear their lines following a Cesc Fabregas corner to make it 3-2.
Five minutes later it was the Belgian causing more troubles for Spurs, this time setting up Matic to score the goal of the game, striking the ball from 30-yards out giving the helpless Hugo Lloris no chance at all.
