Tottenham Hotspur beat Chelsea 2-0 at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, earning only its second Premier League win in 35 visits to the ground, after an own goal by goalkeeper Mike Penders and a late goal by Mathys Tel.

The breakthrough came in the 77th minute. Penders, 21, was making his full league debut in place of the injured Emiliano Martinez, and he punched a Mateus Fernandes corner into his own net.
