The game was settled by Belletti's 30-yard screamer in the 19th minute and another from Wright-Phillips 10 minutes from time.

Tottenham were hoping to record their first victory at Stamford Bridge in almost 18 years but found themselves under sustained pressure in the opening moments.

There seemed little danger to Tottenham when Belletti collected the ball just inside the away half, but he moved forward before unleashing a 30-yard drive that soared into the roof of the net beyond Radek Cerny.

Spurs should have equalised in the 29th minute when Aaron Lennon's cross found Steed Malbranque, but his volley was saved well by Petr Cech.

Chelsea had a goal by Michael Ballack ruled out for offside after a mistake by Ledley King had allowed Malouda to open up the Spurs defence yet further.

Anelka almost made it a spectacular debut with his third touch of the game when a back-heel from Wright-Phillips found him, but his half-volley was saved superbly by Cerny.

Tottenham then enjoyed a long spell of possession, but it failed to produce results. The closest they came to a goal was in the 69th minute when Dimitar Berbatov sent a free-kick just wide of the target.

Chelsea ensured they increased their unbeaten home run in the league to 74 games 10 minutes from time when Joe Cole's run and pass allowed Wright-Phillips to send a low right-foot drive into the bottom corner.

But the margin of victory could have been higher as Wright-Phillips wasted a chance to make it three by firing wide from 18 yards and Anelka hit the crossbar after a mistake by Michael Dawson in the last minute of normal time.
