# Ahead of Saturday's Premier League meeting at Stamford Bridge, take a look back at a classic match between Chelsea and Spurs - a dominant performance to beat London rivals 4-0.
Chelsea versus Tottenham Hotspur.
Always one of the standout fixtures of the season.
And with one team chasing the title and the other still clinging on
to hopes of a top four finish, there's more than just local pride to play for.
As you will probably be aware, it's 24 years since Spurs won here
at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea, the dominant force then in this fixture
and in England just now, four points clear at the top of the table.
And as the only member of the top four in league action this weekend,
with an opportunity to extend that advantage still further.
He's going to have his hands full with Schürrle this afternoon.
It's his touch off for Samuel Eto'o.
And he's played in Edin Hazard, and Hazard's round.
Loris! Oh, so close.
Hazard going round the goalkeeper.
Loris does really well to keep his balance with the lunge from the goalkeeper.
But he just couldn't wrap his foot around it to squeeze it into that near post.
What a spot that is from Dawson out to Jan Vertonghen.
Oh, Sandro lashes one back in and check.
Well, he was flattened by the power of the shot,
but he dealt with it and pushed it behind for a corner.
Edin Hazard. Chelsea might benefit from it.
Eto'o. And still.
Samuel Eto'o! Oh, he almost squeezed that in.
The angle looked absolutely impossible.
Well, here we see him just bearing down on the penalty area.
There's a nudge in the back there, and then he has to take it on a little bit
further to get round Kabul and can't get the ball round towards the goal.
And a poor delivery.
So disappointed, isn't it?
One more opportunity.
Doesn't quite get this one right.
Well, that is the end of the first half.
Samuel Eto'o with an opportunity to put Chelsea in front.
He was luckily denied by an offside flag as well.
Edin Hazard also went close, but at the break at the bridge,
it's all square in the derby.
Chelsea nil, Tottenham Hotspur nil.
Oh, Vertonghen stumbled.
Oh, and he sent it straight back to Samuel Eto'o!
You know the rest.
Breakthrough for Chelsea.
It's another goal for him at Stamford Bridge.
He just loves it here.
The old man is the top man.
It's Chelsea one, Tottenham nil.
That's a huge, huge mistake, isn't it?
But Samuel Eto'o says, thank you very much.
Neatly finished straight through the legs of Hugo Lloris.
And that man, Jan Vertonghen with a crucial error,
which has given us the opportunity to go 1-0 up.
But what a calm finish.
Keeps his head, sensibly draws the goalkeeper,
and slots it beyond him into the back of the net.
What a chance, what a finish.
Hazard's onside here.
And Eto'o's in the middle waiting for the cross.
Samuel Eto'o, what a couple of minutes this has been.
Chelsea have got the chance to maybe put the game out of sight now.
Well, it's a fantastic first-time ball by John Turin.
It's a red card as well.
Well, Younis Caval cannot believe it.
As soon as Eto'o goes to ground, it's got to be a penalty.
As soon as the referee blows his whistle, it's got to be a red card.
Edin Hazard looking for his 15th goal of the season.
Usually as cool as you like from 12 yards.
Is he going to roll it casually?
Or is he going to thump it?
Big moments in the season, potentially.
2-0 Chelsea.
Eto'o misses those.
Edin Hazard, again, 15 goals for the season, all told.
And Chelsea double their lead
and are in a fantastic position
to take three priceless points in the title race.
Hazard, clever pass to Oskar.
Looking for Bahr, might still come for him.
Then the Bahr!
That tops it off.
Goals, three points, Bahr on the score sheet.
Ta-ta Tottenham.
This ball-in was a little bit in hope more than anything,
but a stumble in the back line for Tottenham.
And Demba Bahr has a little bit of luck, the good fortune goes his way.
Sandro get himself all in a mess.
But then again, a nice, calm, tidy finish.
That's a fitting ending, in my opinion, to a good second half from Chelsea.
Much better, tempo's good.
Hazard to go on and win the game, to score goals, was excellent.
Helped out a little bit, you have to say, by Petonga.
Might get better here, it's Bahr again, he's surely going to be four.
Can you believe this?
Chelsea four, Tottenham Hotspur nil.
Well, they don't come much easier with Demba Bahr.
What Karl-Walter was thinking, I really don't know.
It's a poor header back with Demba Bahr, obviously not offside.
He's charged down the goalkeeper, surely Karl-Walter knows he's there.
He thinks it's a simple header, Bahr's done really well,
he's got across Hugo Lloris and made it a simple tap-in for himself.
I thought the last one was the icing on the cake, but this was oh-so-simple.
Chelsea, seven points clear at the top of the Barclays Premier League.
Tottenham toppled yet again at Stamford Bridge.
Four goals, second half, Salvo from the Blues has secured a memorable victory.
Samuel Eto'o on 56 minutes, got the ball rolling.
Four minutes later, Edin Hazard converted a nerveless penalty.
And then a late cameo from Demba Bahr,
two goals in the space of a minute in the second half.
A dreadful day for Tottenham, another fantastic home victory for Chelsea,
and another thoroughly deserved three points here at Stamford Bridge.
Marching clear at the top of the Premier League table
after a delightful derby day destruction.
Final score at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea 4, Tottenham Hotspur 0.
