Spurs seal rare win at Chelsea as Palmer sees red
LONDON: Tottenham clinched a Premier League win at Chelsea for just the second time in 36 years as a woeful own goal from Blues keeper Mike Penders was followed by Cole Palmer’s red card in Saturday’s 2-0 victory.
LONDON: Tottenham secured a rare Premier League win against Chelsea for the second time in 36 years, thanks to a crucial own goal and a red card. Roberto De Zerbi's side extended their winning streak with a 2-0 victory at rain-soaked Stamford Bridge. Cole Palmer was sent off for a second booking, leading to Mathys Tel's decisive solo effort.
This win marked the first home defeat for Chelsea against Tottenham since 2018, ending a long-standing streak of defeat. Since 1990, Tottenham had only managed one win in 41 away matches against Chelsea in all competitions. The victory brought Tottenham to 12th place in the league, after a strong start to the season. The match also dealt a blow to fourth-placed Chelsea, who had previously beaten Bournemouth and Everton in their last two games.
Under Xabi Alonso's leadership, Chelsea's performance remains inconsistent, and they remain a team in need of improvement.
