Chelsea upset nine-man Tottenham's undefeated start to the Premier League season with a 4-1 victory on Monday, thanks to Nicolas Jackson's hat-trick. Blues manager Mauricio Pochettino had a nice victory against Tottenham on his first trip to the club since his dismissal in 2019.
Dejan Kulusevski had given Tottenham an early lead, but Cristian Romero was sent off for a tackle that led to Cole Palmer's penalty spot equalizer before halftime. Soon after the interval, referee Michael Oliver and the overworked VAR officers sent out Destiny Udogie for his second booking. Chelsea ultimately capitalized on their numerical advantage as Senegal striker Jackson scored three times in the final minutes to inflict Tottenham their first league defeat in 11 games. Chelsea climbed up to 10th position after their first win in three league games, keeping Ange Postecoglou's squad in second place, one point behind champions Manchester City.
