Commentary
Fully capitalising on Crystal Palace going down to 10 men within 13 minutes, Tottenham ultimately defeat the ailing Eagles 2-0. Posting their third straight win in the Premier League - and back-to-back home victories for the first time in nearly two years - Spurs were quite clearly the dominant side. Handed a huge boost when Mateta's late lunge on Van de Ven was upgraded from yellow to red following intervention from the VAR, they soon seized the lead. Gray headed home from close range when left unmarked at a corner, and the second half was essentially a siege on Palace's penalty box. Despite being denied several times by Henderson, Spurs eventually added a second through Van Hecke, and that settled any nerves at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Suffering their sixth defeat from nine league games under Sage, Palace only recorded 0.14 xG from two attempts, while their hosts racked up a mammoth 3.26 xG from 34 shots. The Eagles are stuck in the relegation zone ahead of their upcoming Europa League clash with Hoffenheim, but Spurs have moved into eighth place, and they'll be full of confidence for next week's tough trip to Leeds. That's all from our live coverage, so thank you for joining us and goodbye!
FULL-TIME: TOTTENHAM 2-0 CRYSTAL PALACE
There's only one minute of stoppage time remaining, so Spurs are set to celebrate their third straight league win.
SUPER SAVE! Henderson makes another impressive stop! This time, he leaps up high to tip away Kulusevski's thunderbolt, which was surely bound for the top corner!
HUGE MISS! Following some stellar work by young sub Williams-Barnett, who easily beats a tired Crystal Palace defence by himself, his cutback is shinned over the crossbar by Kudus from just a few yards out! It was a totally open goal!

Hughes is introduced too, as Kamada makes way.
