The Italian side-footed the ball with power and caught a somewhat fortunate deflection of Levi Colwill, which wrongfooted Teddy Sharman-Lowe on its way into the net.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was Tonali\u2019s first goal in Spurs colours.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, Spurs\u2019 lead did not last long, with Chelsea hitting back just four minutes later through Brazilian young gun Estevao.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cole Palmer found Jamie Gittens on the left flank, who propped and delivered a well-directed ball into the box aiming for Estevao. The ball took a fortuitous deflection as the 19-year-old ducked inside his defender to head home from close range and level up the scores.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A sell out crowd in Sydney was treated to some exciting action inside the opening period as both sides looked to push forward and take the ascendency, with a range of big Premier League names deployed from the start.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Xabi Alonso looked far more animated that De Zerbi on the touchline as he willed his side on in their second match under his guidance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Chelsea and Tottenham traded early goals in their friendly in Sydney on Saturday night AEST, thrilling an 80,000+&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":578797,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[6898,89834,61,60,137615,112,9071],"class_list":["post-578796","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-chelsea","tag-estevao","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-sandro-tonali","tag-sports","tag-tottenham"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/578796","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=578796"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/578796\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/578797"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=578796"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=578796"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=578796"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
