Tottenham vs Chelsea

The Blues pulled off an incredible comeback victory against Tottenham in a thrilling London derby. 

Despite falling behind 2-0 early on with goals from Dominic Solanke and Dejan Kulusevski, Chelsea fought back with determination, with Jadon Sancho's long-range strike getting them back in the game, and Palmer's penalty levelling the score.

Enzo Fernandez then put the West London club ahead before the Englishman sealed the win with another penalty, this time a Panenka. 

Heung-min Son scored a late consolation goal for Ange Postecoglou’s men, but the visitors emerged victorious.
