Chelsea Stuns Tottenham in 7-Goal Thriller

In a dramatic turnaround, Chelsea came back from a 2-0 deficit to defeat Tottenham 4-3 in a thrilling Premier League match. The game saw Tottenham take an early lead with goals from Dominic Solanke and Dejan Kulusevski within the first 11 minutes. However, Chelsea's Jadon Sancho initiated the comeback with a long-range strike, bringing the score to 2-1 by the end of the first half.

The second half was dominated by Chelsea, with Cole Palmer playing a crucial role. Palmer converted two penalties, the second being a Panenka-style penalty, and his blocked shot led to Enzo Fernandez's goal, sealing the victory for Chelsea. Despite a late goal from Son Heung-min, Chelsea held on to win, narrowing the gap with league leaders Liverpool to four points.

This match marked Chelsea's seventh consecutive unbeaten league game and raised questions about Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou's tactics and future.
