TOTTENHAM BEATS CHELSEA 2-0 AT STAMFORD BRIDGE

Tottenham Hotspur beat Chelsea 2-0 at Stamford Bridge on Saturday night after two late goals settled a goalless match. Mike Penders misjudged a Tottenham corner in the 77th minute and punched the ball into his own goal. Chelsea’s Cole Palmer received a second yellow card minutes later. Mathys Tel then scored a solo goal to complete Tottenham’s win. Dele Alli watched his former club from Stamford Bridge and posted a video poking fun at John Terry.

Neither side scored in the first half, when Omar Marmoush had a close-range effort saved. Tottenham had more possession after the interval, but neither team found a way through until the corner. Sky Sports Premier League posted: “Spurs have taken the lead after Mateus Fernandes' corner ends up in Chelsea's goal”. Penders was making his full Premier League debut. The result gave Tottenham their second Premier League win at Chelsea’s ground, according to the match statistics.

Tottenham rose to 12th after recording consecutive Premier League victories. Chelsea finished with 10 players following Palmer’s dismissal. Joao Pedro’s absence and the decision not to start Danny Welbeck featured in the match account’s discussion of Chelsea’s attack. The account identified Xabi Alonso with that selection decision and Roberto De Zerbi with Tottenham’s performance. Alli’s video followed recent Twitch calls with Harry Kane and others that had circulated online.
