Tottenham Hotspur Snap 36-Year Stamford Bridge Drought with 2-0 Win Over Chelsea
Tottenham Hotspur secure a rare 2-0 victory at Chelsea, ending a 36-year winless streak at Stamford Bridge following a Mike Penders own goal and red card.
POLICY WIRE — London, United Kingdom — Tottenham Hotspur achieved a rare milestone on Saturday, securing a 2-0 victory against London rivals Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
The result marks only the second time Spurs have claimed a Premier League win at the venue in 36 years. Their only other triumph at the stadium during this extensive drought occurred in 2018, when they recorded a 3-1 victory.
The breakthrough came courtesy of a calamitous own goal by Chelsea goalkeeper Mike Penders. The situation for the hosts deteriorated further when Cole Palmer was issued a red card, leaving Chelsea to finish the match with 10 men.
Mathys Tel sealed the historic result for the visitors with a brilliant strike late in the game. The victory was celebrated by the Tottenham coaching staff, players, and traveling supporters as a significant end to their long-standing Stamford Bridge hoodoo.
