They say bad things come in threes. That was certainly the case for Chelsea on a miserable evening at Stamford Bridge as they lost 2-0 to Tottenham in a game where they were described as "awful" by Gary Neville.
Tottenham defeated Chelsea 2-0 at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League, securing only their second win in 36 league visits to the ground. Roberto De Zerbi's side dominated the match, which featured an own goal from goalkeeper Mike Penders and a late strike by Mathys Tel. Chelsea's night worsened when Cole Palmer was sent off after receiving a second yellow card for a foul on Conor Gallagher.
Pundit Gary Neville described Chelsea's display under Xabi Alonso as awful and argued Tottenham out-coached the hosts. Penders was making his first start due to regular goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez fracturing his jaw, leaving Chelsea with limited goalkeeping options ahead of an upcoming Carabao Cup tie against Liverpool.
