Tottenham win at Stamford Bridge for just the second time in 36 years, leaving Chelsea frustrated and down to ten after Cole Palmer's red card.
Tottenham have done what they almost never do: leave Stamford Bridge with all three points. A 2-0 victory over Chelsea is only their second win at the ground in 36 years, a drought that made this result one for the history books.
The night turned sour for the hosts when Cole Palmer was sent off. Losing their most influential attacking player was a blow Chelsea could not shake off, and they finished the game with ten men and a long list of frustrations.
For Spurs, this was about more than the numbers. West London has been a place of heartbreak for Tottenham supporters for decades, and a clean 2-0 win in a ground where they have rarely found joy will feel like a statement. They took their chances and held firm when it mattered.
For Chelsea, the questions now come thick and fast. A home defeat to a London rival is painful enough, and Palmer's dismissal adds a fresh headache, with the club having to deal with the fallout of his absence. The Blues have plenty to reflect on, while Tottenham will savour a rare night to remember at Stamford Bridge.
