Chelsea 0-2 Tottenham: Palmer sent off, Penders scores bizarre own goal as Spurs end Stamford Bridge hoodoo

In a disastrous match at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea suffered a 2-0 defeat to Tottenham, ending their long-standing hoodoo at the home ground. The evening began with a disastrous mistake from backup goalkeeper Mike Penders, who misjudged a corner kick and punched it directly into his own net, giving Tottenham the advantage. The home side's troubles continued when Cole Palmer, already on a yellow card, committed a dangerous challenge on Gallagher, receiving a second yellow and subsequent red card.

With ten men, Chelsea's chances of a comeback were eliminated. Tottenham capitalized on their numerical advantage, with Mathys Tel scoring a solo goal to seal the win. This result marked Tottenham's first Premier League win at Stamford Bridge since April 1, 2018, while for Chelsea, it was a disastrous derby performance, with the team second to Spurs for most of the game.
