Brazil striker Richarlison scored a 90th-minute winner and club record signing Sandro Tonali got his first goal as 10-man Tottenham beat London rivals Chelsea 2-1 in a feisty pre-season friendly in Sydney on Saturday.
Both sides fielded strong line-ups and Spurs struck first on 19 minutes through Tonali’s deflected strike before Estevao levelled the scores barely two minutes later.
Tottenham defender Kevin Danso was given a straight red card just three minutes after coming off the bench at the break for bringing down Joao Pedro, with Chelsea dominating proceedings in the second half.
But in front of 80,363 fans at Stadium Australia, they failed to capitalise and Spurs stunned them with a late winner.
