A\u00a0stoppage-time goal from Brazilian striker Richarlison secured a 10-man Tottenham a 2-1 win over London rivals Chelsea in a spicy Sydney Super Cup battle at Accor Stadium on Saturday night.<\/p>\n

With scores locked at 1-1 and a penalty shootout looming due to the rules of the pre-season tournament, Spurs found a last-gasp winner, with the South American substitute\u00a0 tapping home from close range after being first to a rebound from a shot by fellow replacement Jamie Donley that hit the post.<\/p>\n

In front of more than 80,000 fans, it was a victory against the odds after Tottenham was reduced to 10 men just four minutes after half-time when substitute Kevin Danso was sent off for a professional foul on Chelsea\u2019s Brazilian striker Joao Pedro.<\/p>\n

Having only entered the contest at the start of the second-half, Danso made a mess of a pass from teammate Archie Gray.<\/p>\n

Perhaps not helped by a bumpy playing surface, the Austrian centre-back failed to control the ball and allowed Pedro to get past him.<\/p>\n

It led to a last-man foul from Danso on Pedro, and despite the match being a friendly, referee Alex King applied the letter of the law in showing the Spurs player a straight red card.<\/p>\n

Given a numerical advantage, Chelsea upped the ante, with Spurs needing heroics frorn goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky in the 52nd and 57th minutes to twice deny Estevao.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have to say it\u2019s great,\u201d a jubilant Kinsky told Paramount Plus after his side\u2019s win in the all-Premier League battle.<\/p>\n

\u201cOf course it\u2019s still the pre-season, but it\u2019s a game against Chelsea and we want to win everything.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was tough for us because in the second-half we played with one man less, but we showed a good mentality. We were still playing, we were hungry, and we were active.\u201d<\/p>\n

Any doubts that there was much more feeling to the clash than a usual pre-season match quickly vanished with a crunching 10th-minute tackle from Spurs midfielder Conor Gallagher on 21-year emerging Chelsea star Dario Essugo.<\/p>\n

Players ran in from both sides before referee King restored order and showed Gallagher a yellow card.<\/p>\n

Chelsea enjoyed more possession early but it was Spurs who took the lead in the 17th minute against the run of play.<\/p>\n

The goal was scored by new 100 million pound ($A192.18 million) signing Sandro Tonali.<\/p>\n

Fed by Israeli winger Manor Solomon, the Italian winger unleashed a shot that wrong-footed Chelsea goalkeeper Teddy Sharman-Lowe after deflecting off Chelsea defender Levi Colwill.<\/p>\n

However, Spurs\u2019 advantage lasted only four minutes, with Chelsea\u2019s Brazilian winger Estevao equalising with a header after beating Spurs left-back Andy Robertson to a far-post cross from Jamie Gittens.<\/p>\n

Sydney-born 16-year-old Mahdi Nicoll-Jazuli entered the game for Chelsea at the start of the second-half, while star Spurs pair James Maddison and Micky van de Ven weren\u2019t included in the match-day squad.<\/p>\n

Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso said his team conceded a \u201csoft\u201d goal to lose the game.<\/p>\n

\u201c(But) it was great to play this friendly in front of 80,000 people in a proper atmosphere,\u201d Alonso said.<\/p>\n
