Tottenham secured a dominant 2-0 victory at Stamford Bridge, ending their long winless streak against Chelsea. The match began with Spurs controlling early exchanges, though chances were scarce. The deadlock was broken in the 77th minute when Mike Penders scored an own-goal from a Mateus Fernandes corner.
Ten minutes later, Cole Palmer received a red card for a late challenge on Conor Gallagher. Capitalizing on the numerical advantage, Mathys Tel scored a sensational solo goal, dribbling from inside his own half and rifling the ball into the bottom corner. The win marked only Tottenham's second at Chelsea in the Premier League era, breaking Xabi Alonso's hoodoo.
Despite Chelsea's recent dominance, including a 2-1 victory in May, Tottenham's performance was defined by defensive resilience and clinical finishing. The result moves Spurs off the bottom of the table, while Chelsea remain winless in west London derbies this season.
