  "summary": "Chelsea suffered a 2-0 defeat to Tottenham at Stamford Bridge, a match marked by a second-half collapse and a red card for Cole Palmer. According to Yahoo Sports, the deficit began when backup goalkeeper Mike Penders, who was replacing the injured Emiliano Martínez, misjudged an inswinging corner and punched the ball into his own net.\n\nRegarding the dismissal, BBC Sport reports that Match of the Day pundit Martin Keown agreed with the decision to send Palmer off. Keown suggested that the former Arsenal defender was lucky not to have received a straight red card for an earlier incident during the match.",
