The story in brief

From the source
Tottenham Hotspur beat Chelsea 2-0 at Stamford Bridge to make it back-to-back wins in the Premier League. It was the first time that the Lilywhites had secured a victory at Stamford Bridge since April 2018.
Mateus Fernandes’ inswinging corner saw stand-in goalkeeper Mike Penders bundle the ball into his own net before a wonderful solo goal from Mathys Tel killed the game off late on.
Spurs produced a performance of authority and discipline, whilst nullifying Chelsea’s impressive attacking unit. They also got under the skin of the home side’s talisman, Cole Palmer, who lost his calm after Fernandes stopped the Blues during a swift transition, with the English playmaker picking up a yellow card following a violent barge on the Spurs midfielder.
