⚡ In 30 seconds

- Cole Palmer sent off following what was described as petulant behavior.
- Goalkeeping error contributes to Chelsea's home defeat.
Tottenham Hotspur ended Chelsea’s recent positive run with a 2-0 victory at Stamford Bridge. The match remained goalless until the 76th minute, but the visitors eventually broke the deadlock following a set-piece battle. Sky Sports reports that a goalkeeping error by Penders played a significant role in the result, while Gary Neville described the home side's performance as "awful."
Chelsea’s evening worsened when Cole Palmer was shown a red card. BBC Sport pundit Martin Keown agreed with the dismissal, noting that the attacker might have been sent off even earlier for a separate incident. The defeat leaves Chelsea manager Alonso facing criticism, with Sky Sports reporting he was "out-coached" during the London derby.
