Tottenham Hotspur clinched a Premier League win at Chelsea for just the second time in 36 years as a woeful own goal from Blues keeper Mike Penders was followed by Cole Palmer's red card in Saturday's 2-0 victory.

Roberto De Zerbi's side clinched its second successive league win thanks to Penders's howler in the second half at a rain-lashed Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea forward Palmer was sent off for a second booking moments later, before Mathys Tel produced a superb solo effort to condemn the Blues to their first home defeat against Tottenham since 2018.

Tottenham has climbed to 12th in the points table while Chelsea is fourth.
