Much-improved Spurs ran out deserved 2-0 winners over their fierce London rivals on Saturday evening, with Mike Penders scoring an unfortunate own goal on his full Blues debut in the Premier League before Mathys Tel sealed the victory with a superb late individual effort.
And it wasn’t just Spurs’ current players who delighted in the unexpected success across the capital, with Dele having been in attendance at the game sat next to former long-time Blues captain Terry.
The ex-Tottenham midfielder kept fans amused with his updates throughout the day via Instagram, posting a video of himself laughing as he panned the camera to a disappointed Terry, who shook his head after Penders’ unlucky own goal.
Dele also filmed the scoreboard and Spurs celebrations at Stamford Bridge and later put up a picture of the empty seat beside him along with the caption: “Empty seat here now?”, tagging Terry in all his posts.
He finished his Instagram Stories by posting a celebratory photo alongside fellow former Tottenham midfielder Jermaine Jenas.
Dele spent seven years at Tottenham after joining as an 18-year-old from MK Dons for £5million in 2015, scoring 67 goals and providing 59 assists in 269 total appearances across all competitions.
He has also featured for Everton, Besiktas and Como, earning 37 senior international caps for England between 2015-19 and playing at the 2018 World Cup.
