Tottenham maintained their winning form in Australia with a 2-1 victory over Chelsea in Sydney. Richarlison provided the decisive moment in the 92nd minute, tapping home from close range to seal a fourth straight pre-season win for Roberto De Zerbi’s squad.
Sandro Tonali opened the scoring in the 21st minute with his first goal for the club following his high-profile move from Newcastle. Chelsea responded quickly through a header from Estevao, keeping the game level at halftime.
The contest took a turn early in the second half when Kevin Danso received a red card just four minutes after his introduction. Despite holding the numerical advantage for the remainder of the match, Chelsea struggled to break down a resilient Tottenham defense. Goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky made key saves to preserve parity, frustrating efforts from Joao Pedro and Estevao.
Spurs showed tactical discipline as they defended in a compact block despite being a player down. Their patience paid off during a late counter-attack, which led to the game-winning goal. This result continues a strong start to the pre-season schedule for Tottenham, while Chelsea search for answers ahead of the upcoming campaign.
