Mike Penders endured a nightmare debut as Spurs secured a 2-0 victory at Chelsea. The 21-year-old goalkeeper punched a corner into his own net before conceding Tel's strike at his near post. Cole Palmer was sent off late for a tackle on Gallagher, having been booked earlier for pushing Fernandes, leaving Chelsea a man down.
Josh Acheampong and Maxence Lacroix provided defensive stability for the hosts, while Pedro Neto and Moises Caicedo were among Chelsea's best performers. Jorrel Hato was taken off in the 65th minute. Cole Palmer's ill-discipline proved costly, and Geovany Quenda struggled in his first start.
Morgan Rogers lacked a decisive touch. Arsenal target Antonio Kinsky had a shaky start with two poor kicks. Archie Gray and Jan-Paul van Hecke were solid for Spurs, while Micky van de Ven and Andy Robertson, celebrating his 300th Premier League start, were impressive.
Mateo Kovacic's replacement Mateus Fernandes controlled midfield, and Sandro Tonali was steady. James Maddison struggled to impose himself in the number 10 role.
