Chelsea goalkeeper Mike Penders made a costly mistake in the 77th minute of Chelsea's 2-0 loss to Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday, punching the ball into his own net, according to The Chelsea Chronicle. Penders had made his first Premier League start following Emiliano Martinez's injury. Despite a decent game overall, with three saves against shots inside the box and two successful run-outs, his passing accuracy was low at 53%.

Teammate Maxence Lacroix expressed the Chelsea squad's support for Penders, stating that they are "100% behind" him. Lacroix noted that Penders is a young goalkeeper with talent who will learn from the mistake. The squad, according to Lacroix, will be with Penders, as "everyone makes mistakes" and they need to help him now. Lacroix's own performance was disappointing, as he had a terrible night against Tottenham.

Penders' debut was considered one of the worst in Chelsea's Premier League history, with a goals prevented total of -0.88. While he made some positive plays, the error ultimately led to Tottenham's first goal. Lacroix's comments suggest that the team is rallying around Penders, indicating a supportive team environment. The Chelsea Chronicle reported on Lacroix's comments and the details of the match.
