Chelsea Lose 2-0 to Tottenham as Mike Penders Scores Own Goal and Cole Palmer Sees Red
· Sports · BBC Sport, We Ain't Got No History
Goalkeeper Mike Penders endured a difficult first Premier League start by punching a corner into his own net as Chelsea fell to a 2-0 home defeat against Tottenham at Stamford Bridge. Cole Palmer was later sent off following a late tackle on Conor Gallagher after earlier receiving a yellow card for a clash with Alfie Fernandez. Mathys Tel sealed the victory for Spurs with a spectacular dribble and finish in the 87th minute. The result marks only the second time Tottenham has won at Stamford Bridge in 42 visits. Penders was handed his debut in place of the injured Emiliano Martinez.
Why it matters
The defeat deals a major blow to Chelsea's campaign and leaves the team without Cole Palmer for upcoming fixtures due to suspension. Tottenham secures a rare and historic away win against their London rivals.
