MIKE PENDERS’ OWN-GOAL and a sensational solo effort by Mathys Tel helped Tottenham end their Stamford Bridge hoodoo with only a second win at Chelsea in the Premier League era.
"Just look what it means!"
A glorious solo run and finish from Mathys Tel! 🤩 https://t.co/Qg7WMFNlwQ
Roberto De Zerbi’s team arrived in west London with a torrid record at rivals Chelsea after only one triumph from their last 41 visits to SW6, but turned history on its head with a dominant display in a 2-0 win against Xabi Alonso’s 10 men.
Spurs, who only got off the mark in the league on Monday at home to Coventry, broke the deadlock when Penders punched the ball into his own net after 77 minutes from Mateus Fernandes’ corner before red mist descended over Cole Palmer.
Palmer had already received a yellow card for barging into Fernandes when he received his marching orders by referee Chris Kavanagh for catching Conor Gallagher late with 10 minutes left.

Tottenham were minutes away when Tel collected the ball inside his half, raced past Maxence Lacroix and rifled it into the bottom corner to send De Zerbi off in celebration down the touchline as the north London club claimed the points at Chelsea for the first time since 2018.
