Chelsea 0-2 Tottenham: Penders own goal, Tel strike and Palmer red card at Stamford Bridge
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. 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.
