The Chelsea star appeared to laugh off the incidents and continued with the action. Tottenham fans have a history of throwing objects at Chelsea players as Antonio Rudiger fell victim to it back in 2022. Rudiger appeared to make the referee aware that a object was thrown in his direction by Spurs fans behind the goal he was defending, with the object understood to have been a firelighter. Meanwhile, Palmer and Fernandez both came back to haunt Tottenham fans as they scored as Chelsea claimed a 4-3 win. Palmer scored two penalties, with one of them coming via a paneka in the closing stages of the match.
