The first notable flashpoint arrived on 10 minutes when Conor Gallagher was shown a yellow card. Tottenham then moved in front at 16:31 through Tonali, but Chelsea responded almost immediately. Estevao levelled at 20:32, and the sides went into the break locked at 1-1 after an open first half.
Chelsea made the first switch at half-time, replacing Romeo Lavia with Mahdi Nicoll-Jazuli. Tottenham followed with changes of their own just after the restart, sending on Kevin Danso for Jan-Paul van Hecke and Richarlison for Dominic Solanke at 46:02. The friendly tilted again two minutes later when Danso was sent off at 48:09, leaving Spurs to see out the rest of the game with 10 men.
A stream of second-half substitutions then disrupted the flow, but Tottenham still came away with the better result. Chelsea had enjoyed the upper hand in several recent meetings between the clubs, yet this time the score went Spurs' way. For the highlights reel, the summary was straightforward - two early goals, a red card after the break, and Tottenham finishing in front.
