According to Sky Sports, published on October 24, 2026, Tottenham Hotspur defeated Chelsea 2-0 at Stamford Bridge to record a rare Premier League victory away against their London rivals.
Tottenham secured the three points through a second-half own goal by Chelsea goalkeeper Mike Penders and a late strike from Mathys Tel. The result gave manager Roberto De Zerbi another important win as his side continued its efforts to improve its league campaign.
Chelsea had opportunities to influence the contest but struggled to turn their possession into goals. Tottenham remained competitive throughout the match and eventually took advantage of a costly error from the home side.
The breakthrough arrived in the 77th minute when Penders put the ball into his own net. The goalkeeper’s mistake handed Tottenham the advantage and left Chelsea needing a response in the closing stages.
Chelsea’s situation became more difficult when Cole Palmer received a second yellow card and was sent off in the 80th minute. The dismissal reduced the hosts to 10 players at a crucial stage of the game.
Tottenham took advantage of the situation seven minutes later. Tel scored in the 87th minute to double the visitors’ lead and strengthen their position before the final whistle.
The victory was particularly significant because Tottenham had won only one of their previous 36 league visits to Chelsea before this encounter. Their latest success ended a long wait for another league triumph at Stamford Bridge.
For Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso, the defeat was a disappointing result on home soil. His team was unable to recover after conceding the opening goal and losing Palmer to a red card.
Tottenham, meanwhile, will take confidence from securing all three points against a London rival. The result gives De Zerbi’s side another opportunity to build momentum as the Premier League season continues.
