> Spurs win at Chelsea for only the second time in 35 Premier League visits. Here is how it happened and the table after Saturday's games.

**Tottenham beat Chelsea 2-0 at Stamford Bridge on Saturday night, only their second Premier League win there in 35 visits**, after goalkeeper Mike Penders punched the ball into his own net and Mathys Tel added a solo goal, [Sky Sports reported](https://www.skysports.com/football/chelsea-vs-tottenham-hotspur/report/559516). Cole Palmer was sent off for a second yellow card in the 80th minute. The match kicked off at 5:30pm UK time, 9:30pm in Pakistan.

## Chelsea vs Tottenham: the key moments

| Minute | What happened |
|---|---|
| 77' | Mike Penders (Chelsea) punches the ball into his own net, 0-1 |
| 80' | Cole Palmer (Chelsea) sent off, second yellow card |
| 87' | Mathys Tel scores a solo goal, 0-2 |

Spurs dominated the first half, with about 70% of the ball, and should have led before the break when Omar Marmoush wasted a big chance from close range. Sky Sports noted that Palmer had earlier escaped a straight red card before the second booking ended his night.

## Why it went wrong for Chelsea

Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso chose to play without a recognised striker with Joao Pedro injured. The 19-year-old winger Geovany Quenda made his first start and Morgan Rogers played through the middle, with the experienced Danny Welbeck left out of that role. Chelsea created little against a Tottenham side that, under Roberto De Zerbi, has now won twice in six days.

For Spurs the result matters beyond the derby: they had won only one of their previous 34 Premier League visits to Chelsea, and two wins in a week ease talk of a third season in the bottom half.
