Former Tottenham attacker Dele Alli attended Spurs' 2-0 Premier League victory at Chelsea on Saturday, marking his first appearance at Stamford Bridge since his heroics there in 2018.
The 30-year-old, who has not played since his spell with Como during the 2024-25 season, teased followers beforehand on social media by asking where he might be heading. He later posted an Instagram story selfie alongside ex-Chelsea captain John Terry. During the match, Dele filmed the scoreboard as Tottenham took the lead in the 77th minute. At full-time, he shared another story with Terry absent, captioning it with a remark about an empty seat.
Tottenham secured only their second Premier League win at Chelsea through an own-goal by Mike Penders and a Mathys Tel solo effort. The result delivered a statement victory for Roberto De Zerbi's new-look group.
Spurs midfielder James Maddison was forced off with injury, while Chelsea's Cole Palmer received his first career red card as the club reached an unwanted disciplinary milestone.
