Tottenham Hotspur pulled off a stunning 2-0 victory at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, securing only their second Premier League away win against Chelsea in 36 years. The visitors capitalised on goalkeeper Mike Penders' catastrophic error and Cole Palmer's dismissal to claim the prize.

Penders punched the ball into his own net in the 77th minute after misjudging a corner from Mateus Fernandes. Four minutes later, Palmer received a second yellow card for a challenge on Conor Gallagher, leaving Chelsea with ten men.

Mathys Tel finished the job in the 87th minute with a brilliant solo run, firing a low shot past the Chelsea goalkeeper. It was a masterclass in clinical finishing from the visitors.

Roberto De Zerbi's Tottenham side had endured a torrid spell at Stamford Bridge, managing just one league win in 36 previous visits. This latest triumph marked their first league victory over Chelsea since 2023 and their second successive league win after beating Coventry City on Monday.

The result lifted Tottenham to 12th in the table following their first league win of the season earlier in the week. It ended a brutal run that had tested the patience of their supporters.

Chelsea's defeat handed fourth-placed side a rare stumble at home after they'd beaten both Bournemouth and Everton in their previous two league matches. Xabi Alonso's men were booed off by their own fans at full-time after failing to generate any attacking threat.

João Pedro's absence through injury forced Chelsea to deploy Morgan Rogers as their central striker, but the makeshift formation proved ineffective. Palmer had threatened early on, curling a shot at Antonín Kinský after receiving a lay-off from Pedro Neto's interception.

Tottenham applied relentless pressure throughout, with Omar Marmoush testing Penders after meeting Andy Robertson's cross. Chelsea did craft one genuine chance when Jordan Henderson struck a low drive from the edge of the box, but Kinský was equal to it.

The loss marked Chelsea's first home defeat to Spurs since 2018, a damaging blow to their title ambitions. Palmer's red card could yet have ramifications for the England midfielder's future appearances.
