From the source

Tottenham Hotspur made it three Premier League wins in a row for the first time since February 2025 with a decisive 2-0 victory over a 10-man Crystal Palace side at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The contest transformed early in the 13th minute when Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta was shown a straight red card following a studs-up challenge on Micky van de Ven.

Archie Gray capitalized on the numerical advantage 12 minutes later, heading home at the far post from a looping corner. Spurs maintained relentless pressure before summer signing Jan Paul van Hecke sealed the result in the 73rd minute, heading in at the second attempt following a save by Dean Henderson.
