Tottenham lost for the first time this term last Saturday after conceding a 1-2 game to Chelsea on the road at the Stamford Bridge, as per The Guardian.
The Spurs scored the opening goal of the contest in the 11th minute when Danish attacking midfielder Christian Eriksen picked up ball possession from 25 yards out and then beat Blues keeper Thibaut Courtois. It was the first goal allowed by Chelsea in the last seven rounds.
However, the Blues was quick to retaliate as Spanish forward Pedro netted the equalizer in the 45th minute. The hosts then took the lead in the 51st minute with a goal by Nigerian midfielder Victor Moses, who was left unmarked after Spanish striker Diego Costa passed him the ball following an attack to the goal.
Both sides went goalless after that as Tottenham was handed their first loss of the season.
Meanwhile, Swansea City was able to pull off an improbable 5-4 victory over Crystal Palace at their home ground of Liberty Stadium also last Saturday, BBC Sport reported.
Palace midfielder Wilfried Zaha opened the scoring in the 19th before Swansea midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson leveled the match in the 36th.
Leroy Fer netted two straight goals, in the 66th and 68th, to give the hosts a 3-1 lead, but the Eagles answered back in the 75th and 82nd to equalize at 3-3.
Belgian striker Christian Benteke gave the lead to Palace in the 84th minute, but two goals from Fernando Llorente in stoppage time allowed head coach Bob Bradley's squad to snatch away the win from the Eagles.
The win snapped the Swans' 11-game winless slide, although it was not enough to get them out of the bottom three relegation area.
