Neville Takes Aim at Palmer After Chelsea Red Card vs Tottenham
- On Saturday, Chelsea forward Cole Palmer was sent off after receiving two quick yellow cards during the team's defeat by Tottenham at Stamford Bridge, with referee Chris Kavanagh issuing the second card following a challenge on Conor Gallagher.
- Spurs secured their second win at Stamford Bridge in 36 years, compounding Chelsea's misery after stand-in goalkeeper Mike Penders inadvertently punched the ball into his own net from a corner.
- Sky Sports commentator Gary Neville claimed Palmer "lost his head," arguing the forward was "lucky" to avoid a straight red card for an earlier shove on Mateus Fernandes following a handball.
- Mathys Tel doubled the lead late on, while Neville criticized a reckless challenge by Morgan Rogers on Conor Gallagher, contending the Chelsea player should have been sent off as well.
- Palmer will serve his suspension during Chelsea's Carabao Cup match against Liverpool on Wednesday, though he remains available for the league game at home to Manchester United next Saturday.
