Tottenham Hotspur ended their long wait for a Premier League victory at Stamford Bridge with a 2-0 win over Chelsea on Saturday, October 24, 2026. According to match reports, an own goal by Chelsea goalkeeper Mike Penders and a late strike from Mathys Tel secured the London derby victory for Tottenham. The result also ended Chelsea’s long-standing dominance in the fixture at home.
The breakthrough came in the 77th minute when Penders punched the ball into his own net while attempting to deal with a corner delivered by Mateus Fernandes, according to the Press Association report published by The Irish News. The goal gave Tottenham the lead after a contest in which the visitors had struggled to find a way through Chelsea’s defence.
Tottenham strengthened their advantage late in the match through Tel, who scored in the 87th minute. The forward collected the ball inside his own half, advanced towards the Chelsea goal and finished into the bottom corner to secure the three points, according to match coverage by NBC Sports.
Chelsea’s task became more difficult when midfielder Cole Palmer was sent off after receiving a second yellow card. Reports said the dismissal followed a late challenge on Conor Gallagher, leaving the home side to finish the match with 10 players.
The victory marked Tottenham’s first win at Stamford Bridge since April 2018, ending a run of difficult away results against their London rivals. Chelsea had won their previous six Premier League meetings with Tottenham before Saturday’s encounter, according to the club’s pre-match statistics.
The result also provided a boost for Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi, whose side had secured their first Premier League win of the season against Coventry City earlier in the week. Consecutive victories offered the north London club an opportunity to improve its position in the league standings.
For Chelsea, the defeat ended hopes of extending their winning run against Tottenham and raised questions about their response to the late setback and Palmer’s dismissal.
Tottenham’s historic result at Stamford Bridge gives the club renewed momentum as the Premier League campaign continues.
