  "summary": "Chelsea suffered a 2-0 defeat to Tottenham at Stamford Bridge, a match marked by a second-half collapse. During the contest, backup goalkeeper Mike Penders, who was replacing the injured Emiliano Martínez, scored an own goal after misjudging an inswinging corner and punching the ball into his own net.\n\nFollowing the error by Penders, Cole Palmer was sent off. BBC Sport reports that Match of the Day pundit Martin Keown agreed with the decision to show Palmer a red card, suggesting the player was lucky not to have received a straight red for an earlier incident.",
