Gary Neville tore into Chelsea’s discipline during their 2-0 defeat to Tottenham, insisting Morgan Rogers deserved a red card for a late challenge and that Cole Palmer could have been sent off earlier. The former Manchester United defender also urged Xabi Alonso to take action as a 14-man brawl and a red card overshadowed a miserable evening at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea will be without Cole Palmer when they travel to Anfield to face Liverpool on Wednesday following his dismissal against Tottenham. Xabi Alonso has been handed a major selection headache after Palmer received two yellow cards in their 2-0 Premier League defeat at Stamford Bridge, though domestic competition rules mean he will only serve a one-match ban.
Roberto De Zerbi has urged his Tottenham players to believe they can rewrite the club's history following their monumental 2-0 Premier League victory against Chelsea. De Zerbi praised the squad's fighting spirit and tactical execution after they secured a rare win at Stamford Bridge, capitalising on a chaotic second half that saw Cole Palmer sent off.
Xabi Alonso has demanded more from his Chelsea players after a disastrous night at Stamford Bridge saw them slumped to a rare home defeat against London rivals Tottenham. A nightmare debut for goalkeeper Mike Penders and a late red card for star man Cole Palmer compounded the misery for the Blues in the torrential rain.
