Tottenham win at Chelsea as Palmer is sent off
Tottenham beat Chelsea 2-0 at Stamford Bridge. Penders' own goal and Cole Palmer's second yellow card, which led to his dismissal, were the turning points of the match.

Tottenham secured a rare away win in the Premier League. Spurs won the match at Stamford Bridge 2-0. Chelsea goalkeeper Mike Penders punched Mateus Fernandes' corner kick and sent the ball into his own net. The second goal was scored by Mathys Tel. Tel cut in from the left and drove a firm shot into the bottom left corner.
The evening got worse for Chelsea when Cole Palmer was shown a red card. Palmer received his second yellow card for a challenge on Conor Gallagher. He had earlier escaped a red card in a incident where he struck Fernandes' head. Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville said Palmer had lost control of himself this time.
Spurs had beaten Chelsea only once in 36 away matches. The result gave Roberto De Zerbi his second consecutive win in charge. Despite their first-half dominance, Omar Marmoush's close-range chance did not result in a goal. In the second half, Chelsea could not overturn the balance, and Spurs changed the scoreline.
After the match, De Zerbi said it was a big moment for the fans, the club and the players. The head coach stressed that the team was progressing both in mentality and in on-pitch performance. With this result, Tottenham also eased their fears of being drawn into the relegation zone to some extent.
