Highest position since early January – are Spurs finally on way back?

Tottenham Hotspur defeated Chelsea 2-0 at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, climbing to 12th place in the Premier League. The victory marked Spurs' second consecutive league win under manager Roberto de Zerbi, following an own goal by Chelsea goalkeeper Mike Penders and a late finish from forward Mathys Tel. Chelsea midfielder Cole Palmer was also sent off for two bookable offenses during the encounter.

De Zerbi highlighted an honest team meeting prior to their recent draw at Manchester United as the turning point for the squad's improved spirit. Tottenham controlled 68% possession during the match, with summer signings Jan Paul van Hecke, Matheus Fernandes, and Sandro Tonali performing well, though midfielder James Maddison suffered a suspected groin injury in the second half.
