Chelsea beats Spurs 4-0, 7 points clear in league

LONDON (AP) Chelsea scored four goals in the second half to thrash 10-man Tottenham 4-0 and provisionally move seven points clear in the Premier League on Saturday.

Jose Mourinho's side was unconvincing before halftime but Samuel Eto'o sparked a stunning revival by taking advantage of Jan Vertonghen's slip and ill-judged back pass to nip in and score in the 56th minute.

Eto'o was then felled by Younes Kaboul in the area, earning the defender a straight red card, and Hazard converted the 60th-minute penalty. Substitute Demba Ba completed a crushing win with two late goals in the space of 75 seconds.

Chelsea has played a game more than second-placed Liverpool and third-placed Arsenal, who are both seven points adrift and not in league action this weekend. Fourth-placed Manchester City is nine points behind with three games in hand.
