The full picture
Tottenham Hotspur have started to climb the Premier League table after winning consecutive games, including a 2-0 victory over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, their second three-point win there in the Premier League era. The win followed a credible point against Manchester United at Old Trafford and a 3-1 home victory over Coventry City. Roberto De Zerbi's side has looked strong since the Premier League resumed after the September international break.
Mathys Tel played a key role in the win against Chelsea, starting on the left wing in a 4-2-3-1 formation and causing problems for Chelsea's defense with his pace and movement. He scored the second goal with a fine strike after a mazy run and dribble through Chelsea's midfield, sealing the win in the 87th minute. Tel's performance was praised by Troy Deeney, who included him in his BBC Team of the Week.
Troy Deeney noted that Tel had a difficult start to his Spurs career but showed his potential against Chelsea with pace, power, hard work, and a notable goal. Tel's performance and goal against Chelsea should boost his confidence ahead of the Crystal Palace game, and with Savio out injured and Omar Marmoush preferred centrally, Tel has an opportunity to secure his left-wing position.

Source context
Tottenham Hotspur have started to look upwards in the Premier League table following back-to-back victories. Spurs have looked a strong unit since the Premier League resumed after the extended September international break. They got a credible point against Manchester United at Old Trafford and followed it up by beating an in-form Coventry City side 3-1 at home. And the best result of the season came on Saturday when Roberto De Zerbi’s side stunned Chelsea 2-0 at Stamford Bridge. It was only the second time Tottenham managed to register three points at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League era, thanks to an own goal from goalkeeper Mike Penders and a fine strike from Mathys Tel.
