A resolute performance from Tottenham Hotspur was enough to earn them a 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge and in doing so end Chelsea's 100 per cent record this season.

Darren Bent provided the attacking threat in the absence of Dimitar Berbatov by poaching a point, pouncing just before the break to earn Juande Ramos' men their first Barclays Premier League point of the season.

Chelsea had deservedly led through Juliano Belletti but they did not convert that lead into a third win in three - highlighting the importance the signing of Robinho from Real Madrid could make.

Amid the furious start, Frank Lampard forced an early save from Heurelho Gomes after latching onto a Joe Cole flick. Lampard's chip was floated perfectly to dip under Gomes' crossbar but the Brazilian goalkeeper was able to get back and tip it over.

Deco, who picked up an early booking, drilled in a corner that caused confusion midway through the half and Nicolas Anelka's shot was blocked bravely by Ledley King when the ball broke.

Belletti, thriving in his new role at the heart of midfield, then sent Anelka through with a lofted throughball and the France striker blasted over.

Chelsea were getting closer, with Michael Essien then rattling Gomes' crossbar with a swerving drive from 25 yards. Then the hosts' pressure paid off with the opener from the resulting corner. Deco swung in the set-piece, Bent took a swing and missed, and Belletti finished off the move by diverting the ball in off his thigh.

Looking good value for their lead, Chelsea conceded on the stroke of half-time. Lampard had challenged Luka Modric and the ball ran to Bent, who slotted under Petr Cech.

The leveller was totally against the run of play, and the omens were not good for Tottenham at the start of the second period as they lost the ball straight from kick-off. Ashley Cole was raiding down the left on Scolari's instruction, and Lampard sent him through to fire across the face of the goal. Lampard then tried another chip and this time beat Gomes but not the crossbar.

Ramos' response was to take off Giovani dos Santos and unleash the pace of Aaron Lennon on the right flank. Tom Huddlestone was also brought on to beef up the midfield, with Chris Gunter coming off. Jermaine Jenas moved to right-back as Spurs sat back looking for their point, eventually holding out despite a frantic finish
