Tottenham Hotspur locked horns with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge earlier this evening as they hoped to secure a good result in the London derby. Spurs made a solid start to the contest and managed to get to the half-time break with a goalless scoreline.
Roberto De Zerbi’s men took the lead in the 77th minute due to an unfortunate own goal from Mike Penders. Cole Palmer was sent off by the referee just three minutes later. Mathys Tel killed the game off in the 87th minute as Tottenham earned an impressive 2-0 win in the Premier League.
