A cagey first half was enlivened when Alvaro Morata rose above Davinson Sanchez and Hugo Lloris to head in the opener. Headed goals have been a specialty for Morata and Chelsea, according to Sky Sports Statto:
The fault for Chelsea's latest headed finish lay with Tottenham goalkeeper Lloris. He had recklessly raced off his line to contest the ball, only to flap at it and miss in an error uncharacteristic of the usually steady Frenchman.
There was no fault for Willy Caballero when he conceded the equaliser after Eriksen thundered in a quite brilliant shot from distance.
Football.London's Alasdair Gold was among those quick to salute the sensational strike:
Alli put a suddenly buoyant Spurs side ahead on 62 minutes when he raced clear to lift over Caballero after being sent clear by Eric Dier.
Next, Alli added further gloss to his 100th appearance in England's top flight to prod home Tottenham's third amid a goal-line scramble.
It wasn't the only century Spurs were celebrating, per Squawka Football:
Chelsea threatened more than once after going two behind, but Spurs held on to make a statement about the strength of their squad, having left star striker Harry Kane on the bench for most of the day on his return from injury.
It was heavy sledding for Arsenal for much of the opening 70 minutes. A Gunners team refreshed by four changes struggled to infuse their passing with pace and purpose.
The best moment of a drab first half for the hosts saw Aaron Ramsey clip the crossbar with an improvised effort. Stoke's brightest football came courtesy of mercurial winger Xherdan Shaqiri, who saw a terrific shot curl inches past the post with Arsenal back-up goalkeeper David Ospina stranded.
James Benge of the London Evening Standard noted how tensions were obvious among Arsenal's players:
Such irritations were forgotten with 15 minutes left when Mesut Ozil was brought down by Bruno Martins Indi in the box. Aubameyang made no mistake from the spot.
The successful conversion marked another prolific season for the striker, who joined the Gunners late in the January transfer window, per Sky Sports Statto:
Aubameyang showed his scoring touch again 11 minutes later when he finished emphatically from Ozil's corner.
There was still time for Arsenal to score a third when substitute Alexandre Lacazette, who started on the bench after nearly two months out injured, was barged over in the area by Badou Ndiaye.
Lacazette was unerring from 12 yards to close out what eventually became a routine win for the Gunners.
The hosts were't always convincing, but manager Arsene Wenger will still be pleased with how things unfolded. He made four changes against a side fighting hard to beat the drop but saw his team score three goals and keep a second consecutive clean sheet in the league.

Aubameyang also continued his scoring run, while Lacazette earned some vitals minutes and a goal ahead of Thursday's UEFA Europa League quarter-final first leg against CSKA Moscow.
As for Stoke, the Potters now look increasingly likely to lose the Premier League status they've held since 2008. City are simply too generous at the back, while lacking the cutting edge to collect the points they will need to earn safety.
