Cole Palmer was sent off for a second yellow card as Tottenham beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, Spurs' second win there in 36 years.

Tottenham secured a rare victory at Stamford Bridge, winning just their second match at Chelsea's home ground in 36 years. Cole Palmer was shown a red card during the match after receiving a second yellow.

Palmer was first booked seven minutes before Tottenham's opening goal when he charged into Mateus Fernandes, who had handled the ball to prevent Palmer bursting past him. Palmer received his second yellow card ten minutes after his first, for catching Conor Gallagher.

Gary Neville, on co-commentary duty for Sky Sports, criticised Palmer's response to events. 'Cole Palmer has lost his head,' Neville said. 'To do that five minutes after the challenge on Fernandes is just silly. He sticks his studs in on him, he knows exactly what he's doing. It's not a good challenge. It is naughty, very naughty. He's experienced enough to know.'

Neville also felt Palmer's first incident should have resulted in a straight red card. Tottenham's goals came from Mike Penders, Chelsea's stand-in goalkeeper, who punched the ball into his own net to give Spurs the lead, and Mathys Tel, who scored a solo effort five minutes from the end.
