00:00September 2001 and White Hart Lane witnessed a thrilling London derby between Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea.
00:07Glenn Hoddle had kept Southampton in the Premiership against all odds the previous season,
00:11but left acrimoniously in March 2001 to return to Spurs.
00:15He faced another team he used to play for and manage.
00:18Claudio Ranieri was in his second season at Chelsea and worked hard to rebuild the squad in the summer.
00:24He signed Frank Lampard, Emmanuel Petit, William Gallas and Bolo Zenden for over £30m.
00:30Teddy Sheringham had returned to Tottenham on a free transfer in the summer
00:34and captained a side who'd finally won their first match of the season,
00:37ironically against Hoddle's old team Southampton the previous week.
00:42It was Chelsea's second successive derby.
00:45Ranieri recalled defender Mario Melchiot to the side after the 1-1 draw with Arsenal.
00:49He replaced Gallas.
00:51Chelsea were above Spurs in tenth on goal difference.
00:54The players wore black armbands as a mark of respect for the victims who died in the 9-11 terrorist attacks.
01:00Martin Fisher is the commentator.
01:07So it's Tottenham who get us underway in bright sunshine in North London.
01:12Looking to end this simply awful record against Chelsea down the years.
01:17Not beaten them since February 1990.
01:21We haven't beaten them here since 1987.
01:26Anderton.
01:28Switching the ball left-hand side for Ziga.
01:31Ziga trying to fashion an opening. Not a bad cross as well.
01:34And Davies and Sheringham not too far away.
01:40Christian Ziga certainly finding his feet at Tottenham now.
01:42Two goals in the last two league games.
01:48So.
01:50Zola's made a good run.
01:52King does well.
01:55The danger not over just yet.
01:58King has been too clear once more.
01:59Sheringham for Anderton.
02:01Surrounded by blue shirts does well.
02:03Sheringham too and now a chance for Ziga to be released on the left-hand side.
02:07Only Ferdinand ahead of him.
02:09Anderton.
02:12Sheringham.
02:14King.
02:15Good ball. Ziga again in space.
02:18Ferdinand is the target. Ferdinand goes up!
02:23So close to the opening strike.
02:25Les Ferdinand.
02:27A whisper away and Ziga reaches for the ball.
02:30Anderton.
02:32Sheringham.
02:34King.
02:35Good ball. Ziga again in space.
02:37A whisper away and Ziga really enjoying his first six minutes or so up that left-hand side.
02:42Well found.
02:48Hasselbeck.
02:50Neatly away from one.
02:51It's got to be King inside the area now.
03:08Terry and Desai arriving.
03:12Zendon to deliver.
03:19And it's Lampard with the eventual header.
03:22Not enough to trouble Neil Sullivan.
03:25Claudio Ranieri.
03:30King.
03:31For Sheringham.
03:33Delicious ball for Ziga. Looking for Ferdinand.
03:36Quite have the legs on it.
03:38Melpuyat.
03:40Zola in behind King.
03:41Does well.
03:42They saw Hasselbeck now with the drive
03:44and it's coming back to him.
03:46Melpuyat.
03:50Anderton again.
03:52Anderton.
03:54Under control.
03:56Anderton.
03:58Down behind Kinger.
04:04King.
04:05They saw Hasselbank now with the drive.
04:17Great control by Zola.
04:19Inviting ball for Hasselbank.
04:24Elk Yacht for Chelsea.
04:27Dane Davis across there.
04:29Thrown in there too, but it falls for Petit.
04:31And now Zola.
04:32Beautifully away from the Tottenham defenders.
04:37And now Desailly.
04:38For Zendon.
04:40Who's swapped flanks with Gronkja.
04:42Now Scheringer.
04:46Torrico making the run.
04:47Desailly with the challenge.
04:49And the first yellow card of the afternoon
04:51for the Chelsea captain.
04:52Chelsea captain.
05:02A little bit harsh.
05:06I think Desailly slipped, didn't he?
05:08And then seemed to slip towards the ball
05:11and on the way to the challenge took Torrico
05:15off balance.
05:16But free kick Tottenham.
05:19Ziga and Anderton.
05:20It's Ziga who takes.
05:21It's back post.
05:22And it's easy for de Huy.
05:28Hasselbank.
05:29Zola in room in the centre circle.
05:32I think that's who Hasselbank was aiming for.
05:36We'll never know.
05:38Burn model.
05:39Issuing instructions.
05:45The serve.
05:46Davies again with an important touch.
05:49Anderton.
05:51King.
05:56Anderton.
05:58Anderton.
06:00Anderton.
06:02Anderton.
06:04Anderton.
06:06Ziga and Sheringham.
06:07Sheringham very deep.
06:08But that's why.
06:09What a wonderful ball for Ziga.
06:11Terry's across.
06:15Perfectly timed.
06:19Sheringham.
06:20Nice lay-off.
06:21Anderton with a drive!
06:23And de Huy
06:25was alert.
06:30Lampard.
06:36The serve.
06:39Zendon.
06:41Tariko as well.
06:49The serve.
06:50Zendon.
06:52A full four for T.
06:53Zendon's gone ahead.
06:55Looking for Hasselbank instead.
07:01Ziga will find Sheringham, will he?
07:03Yes, he does.
07:04And now Davies.
07:05Now Sheringham.
07:06It's neat but it's not really going anywhere at the moment.
07:08Anderton.
07:09It might do now.
07:10Ferdinand on the charge forwards.
07:11Inside right.
07:12He might hit it early.
07:13He does hit it early.
07:15Can't control the shot.
07:17Anderton.
07:19Gem of a ball.
07:20Chased that Les.
07:22Les did.
07:24And couldn't control the shot.
07:27But at least we've had one.
07:30And Tottenham retain possession with King.
07:33Ziga.
07:36King for Anderton.
07:40Petit in the way.
07:47Gallas for Zola.
07:51Petit always has time.
07:53It's a mark of a good player.
07:55And a great ball for Lesaud.
07:58And he's got Gronkjaar to his left.
08:02Faced by Tariko.
08:04Teasing over the centre.
08:06Dunjacevic away as far as Lesaud to drive.
08:08And that might fall for Lampard in the box.
08:11Lampard stays on his feet.
08:12Still the chance to deliver.
08:13Hasselbank arriving.
08:15And Hasselbank has put Chelsea in front.
08:20Jeremy Floyd.
08:21Hasselbank has scored it for Chelsea.
08:28And it's a familiar story for the Chelsea fans.
08:30In front at White Hart Lane.
08:36Hasselbank gets the glory.
08:37But watch for Lampard's role here.
08:40As the ball was bouncing back in that area.
08:43He could have gone down there.
08:45Many players would have done.
08:46Lampard kept his feet.
08:47Delicious cross.
08:49And Hasselbank does the rest.
08:511-0 Chelsea.
09:001-0 Chelsea.
09:26And all the noise at the break.
09:27Coming from the Chelsea fans.
09:28Because of that man's goal.
09:30That separates the sides.
09:33So used to coming to White Hart Lane.
09:35And enjoying themselves.
09:36The Chelsea fans.
09:37And at the break.
09:38It looks like it could be the same old story.
09:41Tottenham 0.
09:42Chelsea 1.
09:44Jimmy Floyd.
09:45Hasselbank separating the sides.
09:51So goalscorer.
09:52And Zola.
09:54Get us underway for this.
09:56Second half.
09:58No further substitutions during the break.
10:00As Sheringham immediately tries to release Ferdinand.
10:09But so for Chelsea.
10:11Perry away.
10:17Anderton.
10:19A bit too much of Freund.
10:21Lampard in there.
10:22This is Zola.
10:24Lampard on the run.
10:25In behind King.
10:26Hasselbank in the middle.
10:29Three shirts around Lampard.
10:31Of the white persuasion.
10:32Drunkyard.
10:35Unlike in the first half.
10:37On this occasion.
10:38Ziga stopping him.
10:39In his tracks.
10:42Glenn Hoddle.
10:44In the dugout for the second half.
10:47Having watched the first from up in the stands.
10:51He wants a bit more penetration from his side in the second half.
10:54Perry.
10:55For Ferdinand.
10:57Gallas away.
10:59So for Petit.
11:02Pinging around there.
11:04Nobody managing to get their foot on it.
11:06Anderton for Ferdinand.
11:07Down for Sheringham.
11:08Sheringham with an ambitious shot.
11:11Crashes against the crossbar.
11:17Yet to score since his summer return to White Hart Lane.
11:21And that's surely the closest he's come.
11:22But hold on a moment.
11:23Here comes Chelsea at the other end with Gronkja.
11:25Hasselbank and Zendon steaming in the middle.
11:27There's the cross from Gioncar.
11:29It's a poor cross.
11:31But Zola will collect it.
11:32On the edge of the box.
11:35Inside to Rico.
11:36Davis with the challenge.
11:39And I think it's to Rico that's going to be penalised there.
11:44What a shot by Teddy Sheringham.
11:46A shot from absolutely nothing.
11:48Look how he got his body around this one.
11:49De Hooy not anticipating it.
11:51No reason to expect that kind of shot from there.
11:54And the crossbar saves Chelsea.
12:07But it's a free kick to Chelsea.
12:09But while they ponder what they're going to do with it.
12:12Marcel Desailly is off the pitch.
12:14How about that?
12:15What are they going to do with it?
12:17Marcel Desailly is off the pitch having treatment.
12:22It's going to be Zola.
12:24And it's going to hit the wall.
12:26The clearance from Ferdinand is not a good one.
12:29Not much more time than that.
12:31Gallas.
12:33Lays himself out of trouble very neatly.
12:35Petit.
12:36Melchior.
12:37Tottenham still very deep.
12:39So space for Chelsea to operate.
12:42Melchior for Lampard.
12:43For Hasselbank.
12:45And Ljicevic with a challenge.
12:47Now Freund.
12:48Now Ferdinand.
12:50Hamilton does well.
12:51Now Sheringham.
12:53Inviting Ziga to go on ahead of him.
12:54Left hand side.
12:55Then sends in the cross.
12:56Looking for Davis with the header.
13:05Davis doing very well in fact to get his head on the end of that.
13:15Away by Freund.
13:19Gallas clears for Chelsea.
13:23Fairwell does well.
13:25And Sheringham for Ziga.
13:28Freund.
13:30Back for Fairwell.
13:43Perry looking for Ferdinand.
13:44Great little touch for Davis.
13:46Davis on for Sheringham.
13:47Great chance Tottenham.
13:48Great save to Hoye.
13:49The rebound.
13:50The goal.
13:51Teddy Sheringham's first goal since his return to White Hart Lane.
13:56And doesn't he enjoy it?
13:59And Pujets not too displeased either.
14:03Tottenham back on level terms.
14:07Perry's long ball forwards.
14:08A little flick on there by Ferdinand.
14:10And watch this touch by Davis.
14:12Sheringham's first drive was blocked.
14:14But no second invitation needed.
14:16Across the keeper.
14:18Into the bottom corner.
14:23And Chelsea's goal is breached.
14:32Gallas across quickly.
14:34Ziga's tearing to the left hand side of Davis.
14:36Davis going himself.
14:37Away from one.
14:38Not away from Petit.
14:39Comes for Freund to drive.
14:41Might get a second chance.
14:45Ziga's back heel.
14:47A little bit over ambitious.
14:49And at long last this game is livening up with.
14:53With Lampard.
14:54Now with Zendem.
14:56Aimed for Hasselbeck.
14:59Anderton with time to turn and get Tottenham moving again.
15:03Sheringham.
15:07Anderton for Freund.
15:08Ziga in space to the left.
15:10Chelsea looking a little bit ragged at the moment.
15:12Ziga against Melchior.
15:13Can't get away from him.
15:14Melchior defending well.
15:22All tricky stuff.
15:24Is it effective?
15:29Kind of.
15:30Out of play but it's a Tottenham throw.
15:35And it goes towards Ferdinand.
15:36There's the flick on.
15:38Saiz.
15:39Clearance.
15:40Was a good one.
15:42It had to be.
15:43Sheringham just behind him.
15:45Ziga.
15:46Against Sheringham the target.
15:47With a knockdown.
15:48Melchior away.
15:52And Chelsea looking a bit ragged at the back for once.
16:04It's to be another long throw.
16:06Christian Ziga to take.
16:08Tottenham looking to pick up the pieces.
16:11From Ferdinand's flick on.
16:12Or will it be King that gets the flick?
16:14King does.
16:15Dahoy punches.
16:16Anderton with the shot.
16:24It was King that made himself a nuisance.
16:26Dahoy's punch and Anderton had to take it quickly.
16:29And it just spun wide.
16:31Andronchiar will bring it away for Chelsea.
16:33Now Petit's in a lot of room.
16:35And can he move it?
16:36Swiftly forwards.
16:37To Zola.
16:38Zola turning quickly.
16:40King's back at him.
16:42And Davies is fouled right in front of the referee by Frank Lampard.
16:47And another yellow card.
16:52And it's a foul.
16:53And it's a foul.
16:54And it's a foul.
16:55And it's a foul.
16:56And it's a foul.
16:57And it's a foul.
16:58And it's a foul.
17:00He's in danger of getting caught up in that tackle.
17:02Was Mr Dunn.
17:04With Lampard's follow through.
17:24Sullivan's kick.
17:25Desailly just doing enough.
17:28Hasselbank for Zola.
17:30Chelsea still looking for the win of themselves.
17:32And they might find it with Hasselbank.
17:35And that's a penalty.
17:37The referee thought long and hard.
17:41But says that was a trip by Ledley King.
17:44And that is a penalty.
17:53Well, there was no touch.
17:55Hasselbank lost his footing there.
17:58King didn't bother challenging.
18:01And in my eyes, Hasselbank has just lost his footing.
18:14Hasselbank versus Sullivan.
18:19What's his nerve like?
18:26Oh, so close to saving it, Sullivan.
18:30But Hasselbank celebrates another goal for Chelsea.
18:34His fourth of the season.
18:38And this, a real goal of controversy.
18:45Sullivan guessing right.
18:46Got a touch and it crawled along the line.
18:56Zola.
18:58Petit.
19:00Lampard.
19:02Zola on the run.
19:05Scheringer.
19:07Ziga.
19:09Game very tight.
19:10Davis.
19:12High up and under for Ferdinand.
19:14But Gallas does well.
19:15And Petit calms it down.
19:17As does Gronkja.
19:18And now clever footwork by Melchior gets Chelsea going again.
19:21Hasselbank.
19:22Will he go on a charge for the hat-trick?
19:24Or will he go right-hand side for Gronkja who's got a lot of room?
19:26Can he deliver a cross of quality?
19:29Well, not really, no.
19:30But Tottenham haven't dealt with it very well.
19:32Melchior down for Zola.
19:36Such indecision by the Tottenham defence.
19:39Because the cross from Gronkja was not very good at all.
19:43But that's not a good clearance.
19:47Last few moments of normal time.
19:49Can Tottenham get themselves a second equaliser?
19:54Thelwell.
19:56For Perry.
19:57Chelsea have everybody back.
19:59Hasselbank behind the ball.
20:01Ferdinand.
20:02Can he get away from Desai?
20:03Sheringham's come for the pass.
20:04And shoots and scores!
20:06Teddy Sheringham!
20:07His second of the day!
20:09His 100th goal in Tottenham colours.
20:12And it's come at the death.
20:13And it's got Glenn Hoddle what he will consider to be a deserved point.
20:18Brilliantly worked goal.
20:20Ferdinand strong and cleverly away from Desai.
20:23Watch how Sheringham finds space.
20:24And then finds the bottom corner.
20:28Desai's injury.
20:31Struggling there.
20:32And Sheringham's low drive.
20:33Bottom corner.
20:34Dahoy.
20:35No chance whatsoever.
20:38Great goal.
20:47Melchior.
20:49Didn't want to get caught there.
20:50Just manages to retain possession.
20:53And the show is struggling.
21:03We played the 90.
21:06We might have a few more minutes yet.
21:08And a bit more drama yet.
21:09As Yukanovic picks out Hasselbank.
21:12Fell well in.
21:14And now Sheringham for Davis.
21:20Lampard.
21:21Good ball.
21:22Yukanovic.
21:23Does he have the legs?
21:24Might find Lampard.
21:25Lampard through.
21:26Lampard goes down.
21:29And Perry and Lampard having a right ding dong.
21:33Sullivan involved as well.
21:38What a finish to the game.
21:42King seemed to slip there.
21:44He missed it.
21:45Lampard.
21:46Oh, he's caught.
21:47That's a penalty.
21:49Well, I suppose if you Tottenham you say that makes up for the one that Chelsea were given.
21:54That shouldn't have been given.
21:57And we could have more drama yet.
21:58Because if the assistant referee on this near side saw Lampard and Sullivan's ding dong.
22:03Then we might see a red card here.
22:15Lampard's walking.
22:16A second yellow.
22:17And Lampard goes.
22:21Melchior.
22:22Given away.
22:24Ledley King.
22:26Simon Davis.
22:27Eager to pick up the ball for Tottenham.
22:30Tariko.
22:33Anderton.
22:37Away by Lasso for Hasselbank.
22:39Peels away.
22:40Petit looking for Hasselbank.
22:42Hasselbank has to do this himself.
22:44Nobody in support.
22:45Djokovic just arriving now.
22:48Hasselbank against Thirlwall.
22:50He's done well.
22:51He's done very well.
22:52Lacrosse just too deep for Djokovic.
23:12Chelsea looking to go ahead for a third time.
23:14Surely that would seal the three points.
23:16And he's there by Desailly.
23:19Marcel Desailly at the death.
23:21At the back post.
23:23And Chelsea have won it at White Hart Lane again.
23:30Another happy day at White Hart Lane.
23:33For the boys in blue.
23:34Flick on by Gudjonsson.
23:36And Desailly.
23:38Timing his run to perfection.
23:40He's lived through most of the second half.
23:43But he has surely scored the winner.
23:51You'll never beat the Chelseas.
23:52The chant from the Chelsea supporters.
23:55Certainly been the case down the years, hasn't it?
23:58Not since the early 2000s.
24:00But he's done well.
24:01Certainly been the case down the years, hasn't it?
24:03Not since 1987 have Tottenham beaten Chelsea here.
24:06And they haven't beaten them in any game since 1990.
24:12Since the days of David Howes and Gary Lineker, to be precise.
24:24It's all over.
24:26Chelsea's tremendous record at White Hart Lane continues.
24:32A game of penalties that should have been.
24:35Penalties that weren't.
24:37Sendings off.
24:40A game of rich drama.
24:43And Sheringham's two goals for Tottenham
24:46count for nothing at the end of the day.
24:52Final score at White Hart Lane.
24:54Tottenham Hotspur 2, Chelsea 3.
24:58Teddy Sheringham on the losing team in a dramatic game.
25:01But at least grabbing his first two goals for the club
25:04in his second spell.
25:06He helps Spurs to reach the League Cup Final
25:08where they lost to Blackburn Rovers.
25:10And in the Premiership, they finished a disappointing ninth.
25:14Despite the spending spree, Chelsea's league performance
25:16didn't improve from the previous season.
25:18They finished sixth again.
