Soccer-Spurs Celebrate Ending Chelsea Hoodoo with 2-0 Win
- On Saturday, Tottenham Hotspur ended their 33-match winless streak at Stamford Bridge, defeating Chelsea 2-0 in a rain-swept victory that marked Xabi Alonso's first home defeat as Blues manager.

- Mike Penders' calamitous own goal in the 77th minute opened the scoring, followed by Mathys Tel's fine 20-yard strike; Cole Palmer was sent off after a second yellow card for a late tackle on Conor Gallagher.

- Palmer's red card was his first career dismissal, compounding Chelsea's discipline concerns after 11 red cards last season; Spurs face injury worries following James Maddison's second-half exit with an apparent injury.
