LONDON — Tottenham Hotspur secured a rare Premier League victory at Stamford Bridge, beating Chelsea 2-0 to claim just their second win at the ground in 36 years.
Spurs were clinical to take all three points in west London, with the 2-0 scoreline sealing a historic result on Chelsea's home pitch. The victory ends a long wait for success at Stamford Bridge, where Tottenham have rarely prevailed in the Premier League era.
Chelsea finished the match with 10 men after Cole Palmer was sent off. The hosts were reduced in numbers following the red card for Palmer, a dismissal described as a record card, which left them to see out the contest a man short.
The result delivers a significant boost for Tottenham, who have taken maximum points from a notoriously difficult away fixture, while Chelsea were left to rue the dismissal that hampered their response at home.
