Chelsea 1-2 Tottenham: Richarlison wins Down Under derby for 10-man Spurs | OneFootball

Sandro Tonali opened the scoring with his first goal for Spurs

Richarlison scored a stoppage-time winner as Tottenham beat Chelsea 2-1 in an entertaining pre-season friendly in Sydney.

In front of a crowd of more than 80,000 at Accor Stadium, Spurs claimed victory at the end of a competitive contest that took on the intensity of a Premier League meeting despite being played thousands of miles from London.

Sandro Tonali gave Tottenham an early lead when his shot took a deflection on its way past Chelsea goalkeeper Teddy Sharman-Lowe.

Chelsea responded well and were back on level terms minutes later through Estevao Willian, who headed in a Jamie Gittens cross at the back post.

Spurs created the better openings before the interval, with Mathys Tel denied by an impressive save from Sharman-Lowe.

The game appeared to turn just four minutes into the second half when Tottenham defender Kevin Danso was shown a straight red card for bringing down Joao Pedro as the Chelsea forward raced through on goal.

Chelsea looked the more likely side to find a winner after the dismissal, but goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky kept Tottenham level with two outstanding saves. He first turned Estevao's close-range effort onto the crossbar before producing another sharp stop to deny Joao Pedro from inside the six-yard box.

Tottenham almost won it when Rio Kyerematen's powerful strike crashed against the crossbar, but the decisive moment arrived in stoppage time. Jamie Donley's effort rebounded off the post and Richarlison was on hand to convert from close range, sealing victory for Spurs in their final match of the Australian tour.
