Tottenham vs. Crystal Palace player ratings: Spurs win their third on the bounce
Story updated
The story in brief
5-second readSpurs secured their first Premier League victory of the season on a celebratory night in N17.
From the source
Tottenham's resurgence continued on Saturday evening, as they claimed their third successive victory by beating 10-man Crystal Palace 2-0. Expectations were high for the Lilywhites entering the match, given last week's result at Stamford Bridge, and pressure built after Jean-Philippe Mateta received his marching orders for a bad-looking challenge on Micky van de Ven in the opening exchanges.
It could be a home win from that moment on, but the rout that some may have foreshadowed after the Premier League's poorest defence were reduced to 10 didn't quite come to pass, even after Archie Gray headed us into the lead midway through the first half.
Spurs' pressure was unrelenting throughout, and combination of De Zerbi's counter-presss and our collection of standout defenders in transition meant Palace were bereft of hope.
