Spurs Celebrate Ending Chelsea Hoodoo with 2-0 Win

Manager Roberto De Zerbi expressed caution regarding James Maddison’s fitness after the midfielder missed 3 days of training following his return from a 536-day injury absence.

  • On Saturday, October 24, 2026, Tottenham secured a 2-0 victory over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, with Mathys Tel scoring late after Mike Penders' own goal, marking only their second win at the venue in 41 attempts.
  • Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi channeled the club's poor Stamford Bridge record as motivation, having won just once in 41 previous visits. De Zerbi told his squad the "negative record" would give them "more mentality, more energy to win."
  • Midfielder James Maddison remained doubtful after missing training in the three days following his return start against Coventry. Chelsea playmaker Cole Palmer was sent off for two yellow cards following a late challenge on Conor Gallagher.
  • Chelsea coach Xabi Alonso expressed disappointment after the defeat, stating his side "were not at our best level." Goalkeeper Mike Penders made his full Premier League debut replacing the injured Emi Martinez.
  • The victory propels Tottenham to 12th place in the Premier League after building on Monday's win against Coventry. Spurs now prepare to host Crystal Palace in their next league fixture.
