Tottenham have finally broken their Stamford Bridge curse! Spurs secured just their second win at Chelsea in 36 years with a stunning performance, dominating their London rivals and delivering a result that could change the mood around Roberto De Zerbi’s side. Kate Mason is joined by The Athletic’s James Maw and Jack Pitt-Brooke to break down a historic afternoon. Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes ran the midfield, Kudus looked a threat and Mathys Tel scored a brilliant goal. We also discuss James Maddison’s injury, the flashpoints involving Cole Palmer and Fernandes, and Chelsea’s late collapse. Plus, what does this victory tell us about De Zerbi’s team-building? After speaking about a pivotal meeting with his players, is the manager finally getting the response he wanted? And how much could this win do for Spurs’ confidence going forward?
