How Spurs silenced Cole Palmer in Stamford Bridge Triumph

Tottenham Hotspur secured a historic 2-0 victory against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, marking only their second Premier League away win at the venue in history, according to a report by Football Fan Cast.​

An own goal from goalkeeper Mike Penders and a brilliant solo strike by Mathys Tel sealed consecutive wins for Roberto De Zerbi’s side. Tottenham dominated play with 68% possession, limiting Chelsea’s makeshift attack, led by Morgan Rogers in place of the injured João Pedro, to just 0.43 xG.

​The centerpiece of Spurs’ tactical triumph was neutralizing Chelsea midfielder Cole Palmer. Star performance from Mateus Fernandes restricted Palmer to one completed dribble before the England international received two yellow cards and was sent off in the second half. Fernandes controlled the match with 121 touches and 91 completed passes.
