The main Chelsea talking points from Stamford Bridge after the Blues suffered an agonising 2-0 defeat at the hands of their arch rivals Tottenham on Saturday evening…
Football London's Bobby Vincent reports that Cole Palmer and Morgan Rogers lost their composure during Chelsea's defeat to Tottenham Hotspur, delivering a reality check to manager Xabi Alonso. Palmer received two yellow cards in under nine minutes to earn a sending-off, while Rogers escaped a red card after kicking out at Conor Gallagher. Tottenham dominated possession with 68.5% at Stamford Bridge.
The defeat also left Palmer suspended for Chelsea's upcoming Carabao Cup fourth-round tie against Liverpool at Anfield. Additionally, Chelsea were without injured top scorer Joao Pedro, who missed the derby and is scheduled for scans on a potential knee issue ahead of the midweek clash.
