In a London derby match, Tottenham Hotspur secured a 2-0 victory over Chelsea, marking the Blues' first home defeat of the season. The result came after Tottenham's Mike Penders scored an own goal and Mathys Tel scored a brilliant solo goal during the second half. Chelsea was missing injured striker Joao Pedro, goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez, who was out due to jaw surgery, and had Penders as a replacement.
Penders made excellent saves from Omar Marmoush and Tel in the first half. However, the Belgian's error made the difference as he punched a corner kick into his own net. Chelsea's Cole Palmer was sent off in the match, resulting in two cautions and a red card. Tottenham's victory marked their second win in five days and their first back-to-back league wins since May, placing them 12th with nine points after eight matches.
