In a tumultuous contest at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Chelsea emerged victorious as the home side was reduced to nine men and conceded four goals.
The game began with Dejan Kulusevski’s deflected strike, putting Spurs in the lead, but an offside call nullified Son Heung-Min’s goal. The VAR played a crucial role, disallowing goals for both sides and leading to a red card for Cristian Romero after a foul on Enzo Fernandez.
Cole Palmer converted the ensuing penalty. Destiny Udogie’s second yellow card left Tottenham with only nine players. Despite their disadvantage, Chelsea secured a convincing win, but Spurs’ performance earned a standing ovation from their own fans.
