VIDEO: Alonso’s artful free kick a fitting goal for Chelsea at Wembley

Rz7xLFuds2X_
Chelsea's Marcos Alonso curls a free kick over the Tottenham wall and into the top corner to make it 1-0.

Marcos Alonso’s left-footed free kick goal is a thing of beauty.

It’ll go down as the Premier League’s first goal at Wembley Stadium, and deservedly so.

Alonso spun his shot over the wall with vigor, missing a leaping Toby Alderweireld’s head by inches before dipping hard to beat a flying Hugo Lloris.

The goal gave Chelsea a 1-0 lead over hosts Tottenham Hotspur, and came after Alvaro Morata missed the match’s first best chance with a free header wide of goal.

It’s Alonso’s seventh goal for Chelsea, and could spur them away from the gloom and doom of last week’s season-opening loss to Burnley.
