Tottenham win 2–0 at Chelsea as Cole Palmer is sent off
A Mike Penders own goal and a late Mathys Tel finish gave Roberto De Zerbi's side their first clean-sheet win at Stamford Bridge since 1986.
By GoalPost · Reporting from Sky Sports and NBC Sports
Tottenham Hotspur beat Chelsea 2–0 at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.
The game turned in the last quarter of an hour. In the 77th minute Chelsea goalkeeper Mike Penders, under pressure from Jan Paul van Hecke, punched Mateus Fernandes's corner into his own net. Three minutes later Cole Palmer was shown a second yellow card for catching Conor Gallagher; Sky Sports reports he had earlier escaped with only a booking after barging into Fernandes. Mathys Tel cut in from the left and drove in the second in the 87th.
Sky Sports and NBC Sports both report it was Tottenham's first win at Chelsea without conceding since December 1986. Xabi Alonso's Chelsea stay fourth on 13 points; Spurs are 12th on nine.
