Tottenham fans launch missiles at Chelsea stars Cole Palmer and Enzo Fernandez during fierce London derby… as Jamie Carragher slams Spurs’ stewards for ‘just standing and watching’

Tottenham fans launched missiles at Chelsea stars Cole Palmer and Enzo Fernandez during a fierce London derby.

Both Cole Palmer and Enzo Fernandez had to postpone taking corners as pieces of cards were thrown in their direction in the first half.

Tottenham stewards intervened to calm the fans and entered the pitch to remove the items.

Jamie Carragher told Sky Sports: ‘Where are the people in the stands, the stewards? Don’t stand there and watch, go inside.

‘What are these Tottenham stewards doing? There’s three behind Cole Palmer, they were just standing there looking at him.”

The objects thrown at the Chelsea players are said to have come from a tifo used just before kick-off.

The home fans also targeted Enzo Fernandez when he came over to take a corner

The situation got worse towards the end of the half when the match had to be temporarily stopped as fans continued to throw objects.

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 when Antonio Rudiger fell victim to it in 2022.

Rudiger appeared to alert the referee that an object was being thrown in his direction by Spurs fans behind the goal he was defending, with the object believed to be a fire starter.

Meanwhile, Palmer and Fernandez both came back to haunt the Tottenham fans as they scored as Chelsea claimed a 4-3 win.

Palmer scored two penalties, one of which came via a breakdown in the closing stages of the match.
