Spurs seal rare win at Chelsea as Palmer sees red

Tottenham secured a rare Premier League victory over Chelsea in a rain-soaked match at Stamford Bridge. The Blues conceded a shocking own goal by goalkeeper Mike Penders in the second half, followed by a red card for Cole Palmer. Roberto De Zerbi's Tottenham side, on the back of their previous win against Coventry, moved to 12th in the table after 16 games.

Chelsea, who had recently beaten Bournemouth and Everton, suffered their first home defeat against Tottenham since 2018. Joao Pedro was ruled out due to injury, leaving Morgan Rogers as the central striker. Despite a promising start, Chelsea's attack lacked incisiveness. In the 77th minute, a corner from Fernandes was mishandled by Penders, resulting in an own goal.

Moments later, Palmer was shown a red card for stamping on Conor Gallagher. The game ended with Mathys Tel scoring a decisive goal, ensuring Tottenham's memorable win.
