Tottenham v Chelsea: Porro, Palhinha in tough clash, winger riles fans | OneFootball

Chelsea defeated Tottenham in the London derby, 1-0. With former Sporting players Pedro Porro and João Palhinha on the field, the Spurs lost at home to their rivals, in a match marked by provocations between fans and Pedro Neto, a player for the Blues.

The first and only goal of the match came in the 34th minute, scored by João Pedro. In the second half, several yellow cards were shown by the referee, notably for a harsher tackle by Enzo Fernández on Palhinha.

Towards the end of the match, Pedro Neto was substituted for Estêvão and remained standing on the bench, blocking the view of Tottenham fans, who told the Portuguese player to sit down. The forward didn’t like it and responded to the fans with a "vai-te f****" and several faces.

This season, wearing the Tottenham shirt, the former Sporting player – valued at 38 million euros – has played 16 matches. In total, the Spanish international right-back has clocked 1,370 minutes, with three assists to his name.

João Palhinha, meanwhile, joined Bayern in the summer of 2024, coming from Fulham, where he spent two seasons after leaving Sporting in 2022. The Bavarians paid close to 50 million euros to the London club but, despite the hefty investment, the midfielder started only ten games (out of a total of 25), being loaned to Tottenham this summer. In 2025/26, he has three goals and one assist in 16 matches.
