Tottenham won at Stamford Bridge for only the second time in the league for 36 years as 10-man Chelsea were beaten at home.

England midfielder Cole Palmer was also sent off in the 80th minute for two bookings to complete a miserable evening for Xabi Alonso’s side.

Spurs had taken the lead three minutes earlier in fortunate circumstances.

Chelsea goalkeeper Mike Penders, on his first league start for the Blues after Emi Martinez suffered a fractured jaw against Everton, punched the ball into his own net when he jumped under pressure from Jan Paul van Hecke at a corner.

French forward Mathys Tel added a second in the 87th minute with a low strike from 25 yards out following a fine individual run from the halfway line.

The match was played in torrential rain and it was stormy on the pitch too in a fiery derby encounter.

Palmer picked up his two bookings in a nine-minute spell, either side of Tottenham’s opener. His first yellow card came when he barged into Mateus Fernandes, with the second following a late challenge on Conor Gallagher.

Spurs moved up to 12th place, having won two matches in a week after they gained their first league victory of the campaign last Monday with a 3-1 home win over Coventry City.

As much as it was deserved, it was unexpected given their wretched record at the home of their London rivals.

Fulham Record Back-To-Back Wins

Oscar Bobb’s late goal made it back-to-back Premier League wins for Fulham as they claimed victory at Coventry City at the weekend.

In a game which otherwise lacked quality, Bobb weaved past a defender in a crowded penalty area before whipping an excellent strike into the bottom corner to score the game’s only goal.

In the first half, it was Fulham’s Josh King who came closest to delivering an opener when he sent an effort crashing off the crossbar. The rebound then fell to Alex Iwobi but he was unable to convert from close range.

For Coventry, the bulk of their most threatening moments came when Brandon Thomas-Asante led counter-attacks, but they were unable to find an end product.

Fulham had claims for a penalty rejected shortly before the break as Calvin Bassey was judged to have tugged his opponent’s shirt before being dragged down by Thomas-Asante in the box.

Coventry were dealt a blow when defender Bobby Thomas, a shining light this season in a backline which has come up against difficult tests, was forced off with an injury in the 60th minute.

They continued to absorb pressure and search for chances on the break, but were unable to find a way to open the scoring despite making some dangerous, quick moves.

A first away league win in nine matches moves Fulham up to 12th in the table on eight points, two above Coventry. The Sky Blues are 19th.
