Alonso 'out-coached', 'petulant' Palmer and Penders howler: Chelsea's horror night

Story

Tottenham won at Stamford Bridge for just the second time in 36 visits in the Premier League; Chelsea created very little in the defeat with Gary Neville calling them awful; Cole Palmer was described as petulant following his red card; Mike Penders made a monumental error

They say bad things come in threes. That was certainly the case for Chelsea on a miserable evening at Stamford Bridge as they lost 2-0 to Tottenham in a game where they were described as "awful" by Gary Neville.

Spurs had won only one of their previous 36 league visits to Chelsea but dominated Xabi Alonso's side from start to finish, with an own goal from Mike Penders and a stunning late strike from Mathys Tel securing a well-deserved win for Roberto De Zerbi's side.

To add to their woes, on an evening where the dismal weather matched their performance, Cole Palmer was sent off for a second bookable offence after already escaping a straight red card earlier in the game, having barged into Spurs midfielder Mateus Fernandes.
