Tottenham beat Chelsea 2-0 at Stamford Bridge

In a London derby played under heavy rain and wind at Stamford Bridge, Tottenham dominated possession and held 70 percent of the ball. Chelsea, returning from international break with two wins, responded with high pressing and quick transitions. The first half ended goalless. Chelsea's young goalkeeper Mike Penders, starting in the league for the first time after Emiliano Martinez was injured, made important saves against Tottenham's attempts.

In the second half, a punch attempt by Penders ended with the ball hitting the crossbar and crossing the line, and Tottenham went ahead 1-0. Shortly before this, Chelsea's Cole Palmer had received his first yellow card following a clash with Fernandes. He was then sent off after a second yellow for stepping on Gallagher's foot, leaving Chelsea with ten men.

The winning goal was scored by Mathys Tel. Taking the ball from Acheampong in his own half, Tel advanced to the edge of the Chelsea penalty area and fired a powerful low shot to make it 2-0. With this win Tottenham rose to 9 points, while Chelsea lost at home for the first time this season and remained on 13 points.

For Tottenham, James Maddison went off injured in the 50th minute with a knee problem. Maddison had started a league match for the first time in 18 months last week against Coventry City and scored. His replacement, Conor Gallagher, was booed by Chelsea fans on his return to the ground as a former player.
