The Story in 60 Seconds

Tottenham Hotspur ended an eight-year winless run at Stamford Bridge by defeating London rivals Chelsea 2-0 in the Premier League. Spurs took the lead after Chelsea goalkeeper Mike Penders scored an own goal by misjudging a punch from a corner. Mathys Tel quickly doubled the advantage with a solo run and long-range strike, shortly before Chelsea's Cole Palmer was sent off following a second yellow card.

Manager Roberto De Zerbi saw standout performances, notably from midfielder Mateus Fernandes, who completed 91 of 92 passes and contributed heavily on defense. However, the victory was marred by an injury setback, as midfielder James Maddison was forced off with an apparent groin issue during his second consecutive start.
