## Key points

- Tottenham beat Chelsea 2-0 at Stamford Bridge.
- The result may signal a turnaround after a poor start.
- Mateus Fernandes impressed in his first start in a deeper role.

## Summary

Tottenham’s 2-0 win at Chelsea could mark a turning point after a poor start to the season. It was only their second Premier League victory at Stamford Bridge, and came as the team began to show more of the confident, possession-based football Roberto De Zerbi wants.

Spurs had been in the relegation zone with one win, but improved after the international break, drawing at Manchester United and beating Coventry before the Chelsea match. They had 68.9% possession against Chelsea, while £85m signing Mateus Fernandes excelled in his first start in his preferred deeper midfield role, completing 92.2% of 102 passes. The win lifts hopes that Tottenham can climb the table, though it remains early in the season.
