Palmer sent off as Chelsea lose to Spurs at Stamford Bridge

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 24 Oct, 21:20 · Archive

Cole Palmer was sent off for two yellow cards as Chelsea lost to Tottenham at Stamford Bridge on Saturday. He was first booked after shoving Mateus Fernandes to the ground following what Neville described as a deliberate handball by the midfielder. Minutes later, Palmer received a second yellow card for a challenge on Conor Gallagher.

Gary Neville, speaking on Sky Sports, said Palmer had 'lost his head' with his reaction to Fernandes and called the second challenge 'very naughty'. Neville suggested Palmer should have been sent off immediately for the push on Fernandes, saying 'his reaction looks silly' and that 'he's asking for trouble'.

Chelsea fell behind when Mike Penders inadvertently punched the ball into his own net from a corner. Playing with ten men, the Blues' misery was compounded as Mathys Tel doubled Spurs' lead late on. The victory made Spurs only the second Tottenham team to win at Stamford Bridge in 36 years.
