Despite being down to ten players, Tottenham triumphed over Chelsea with a score of 2-1 in a preseason friendly held on Saturday (1st) in Sydney, Australia.
The victory was secured by Brazilian star Richarlison, who netted the winning goal during stoppage time.
Tottenham faced increased challenges when defender Danso received a red card in the second half. Nevertheless, “Pombo,” who had started the match on the bench, rose to the occasion and clinched the win for manager Roberto De Zerbi.
Witness the moment the striker scored against the Blues below.
The match kicked off with an exciting first half prior to Richarlison’s crucial goal.
Tonali initially put Spurs ahead, but Brazilian prodigy Estêvão — making his first start since recovering from an injury that kept him out of the World Cup — equalized for Chelsea.
In the second half, Chelsea threatened through João Pedro, but he was denied by a fantastic save from Tottenham’s goalkeeper Kinsky, ensuring that the night belonged to Tottenham’s No. 9.
The teams are now in the final phase of their preparations for the 2026/27 Premier League season, scheduled to commence on August 21.
In the opening fixtures, Tottenham will visit Brentford on the 22nd, while Chelsea will face Fulham for their first official match of the season on the 24th.
