Cole Palmer struck twice to bury Spurs who were leading 2-0

Spurs raced into a 2-0 lead, before Jadon Sancho and then a Cole Palmer penalty brought them level.

Then, it was the turn of Enzo Fernandez to volley home to put the visitors ahead for the first time in the contest in the second half.

The Argentina World Cup winner was delighted with his strike – racing towards the away fans to celebrate.

As he wheeled away, Fernandez looked like he was about to whip his shirt off.

Had he succeeded, he would’ve been given an automatic yellow card.

However, forward Jackson came to Fernandez’s aid – running behind him and holding down his shirt as his teammate threatened to take it off.

Chelsea fans took to social media to praise Jackson’s thinking.

One wrote: “Jackson preventing Enzo from taking off his shirt.

A second posted: “Jackson stopped Enzo taking of his shirt so he didn’t get a yellow card hahahaha.”

A third joked: “You’d be fuming if you had Enzo Fernandez to be booked there, goes to take his top off and Jackson comes in like.”

While a fourth added: “Enzo Fernandez owes Jackson now for saving him a yellow card.”

A crucial win for the Blues saw them leapfrog Arsenal into second place and go within four points of Liverpool who lead the pack.

However, the game was marred by an unsavoury incident when Palmer and Fernandez were hit by missiles, in the shape of cards, thrown by Spurs fans.
