Sandro Tonali Scores First Goal for Tottenham in Friendly Win Over Chelsea
Italian midfielder Sandro Tonali marked his debut goal for Tottenham Hotspur in a 2-1 pre-season victory against Chelsea.
According to a report by Khaosod Online Thailand, Italian midfielder Sandro Tonali has scored his first goal for Tottenham Hotspur following his recent transfer from Newcastle United. The goal occurred during a pre-season friendly match against London rivals Chelsea on August 1, 2026, which ended in a 2-1 victory for Tottenham.
Tonali opened the scoring in the 17th minute, though Chelsea’s Estevão equalized shortly after in the 21st minute. Despite Tottenham being reduced to ten men in the 49th minute following a red card issued to Kevin Danso, the team managed to secure the win with a decisive second goal.
For residents and visitors in Thailand who follow international football, this match highlights the ongoing pre-season preparations of major Premier League clubs. While the result provides a positive start for Tonali at his new club, it remains to be seen how this performance will translate into the upcoming competitive season. As this was a friendly exhibition match, the tactical adjustments made by the manager following the red card are still subject to further analysis as the team prepares for official league fixtures.
