Tottenham beat Chelsea as Palmer sees red at Stamford Bridge

Tottenham continued their winning run in the Premier League with a 2-0 victory over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, while Cole Palmer was sent off for the first time in his career.

The result was Tottenham’s second successive win and their second victory of the league season, following their previous success against Coventry City.

It lifted Tottenham to nine points and 12th place in the table. Chelsea remain on 13 points in fourth.

Tottenham’s win was their first at Stamford Bridge since the 2017-18 season.

Omar Marmoush, the Egypt international, started for Tottenham and came close to opening the scoring in the 29th minute. He met a cross from Robertson inside the penalty area, but Chelsea’s goalkeeper kept out his effort.

Marmoush was substituted in the 65th minute, with the match still goalless.

Tottenham took the lead in the 77th minute when Chelsea goalkeeper Mike Penders turned the ball into his own net. Penders failed to hold a corner, allowing it to slip beyond him and give the visitors the advantage.

Chelsea’s hopes of recovering were damaged four minutes later when Palmer was dismissed after receiving a second yellow card.

It was the first red card of Palmer’s football career.

Tottenham secured the points in the 87th minute when Mathys Tel doubled their lead with a low shot from outside the penalty area.
