The game saw two sendings-off, with Cristian Romero and Destiny Udogie both seeing red. Additionally, key players James Maddison and Micky Van de Ven suffered injuries. Despite the chaos, Tottenham’s nine men put up a spirited fight, holding Chelsea at bay. However, Chelsea’s Nicolas Jackson scored a late hat-trick, securing a 4-1 victory.
