Tottenham defender Djed Spence suffered a broken jaw during their 2-1 Premier League defeat to Chelsea.
Delap’s Challenge Results in Injury
Spence, 25, was on the receiving end of Delap’s flying elbow as the two players challenged for the ball in the latter stages of the game.
Per The Athletic, the Tottenham man has been confirmed to have sustained a broken jaw as a result of the collision.
VAR Controversy After the Incident
Delap was shown a yellow card at the time, with no review from VAR, much to the dismay of Spence, who took to social media to vent his frustrations.
