The Blues got the better of Tottenham 2-1 at Stamford Bridge in London in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.
Giroud put the Blues in the lead in the 15th minute, and Marcos Alonso doubled the advantage for Frank Lampard’s side just three minutes into the second half.
An own goal from Antonio Rudiger in the 89th minute gave some hope to Spurs, but Jose Mourinho’s team failed to do much of note thereafter.
Chelsea striker Giroud has revelled in the win on Twitter for his side in the London derby.
Proud of the team performance today, great character for an important win! Thanks to our fans for the amazing support #Chelsea #CFC #CHETOT pic.twitter.com/mMeCXI9HCf
