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.
