Previously unbeaten Tottenham went ahead after six minutes thanks to Dejan Kulusevski but that was as good as things got for Ange Postecoglou’s side.
Tottenham Hotspur and Ange Postecoglou’s hopes of returning to the top of the Premier League table were dashed in extraordinary fashion as they went down 4-1 at home to Chelsea on Monday in a frenetic London derby that they completed with nine men.
Previously unbeaten Tottenham went ahead after six minutes thanks to Dejan Kulusevski’s deflected shot and minutes later had a second scored by Son Heung-min ruled out for offside. Cristian Romero was sent off after a VAR check for a dangerous tackle that resulted in a penalty scored by Cole Palmer and Spurs then lost two players to injury.
