Tottenham Hotspur secured a hard-fought 2-1 win against Crystal Palace, allowing them to extend their lead at the top of the table by five points. The match saw an own goal by Joe Wade and a goal by Son Heung-min, which contributed to Tottenham’s 10-game unbeaten streak.
The game began with two early chances for Crystal Palace, but they couldn’t capitalize on them as Tottenham’s goalkeeper, Vicario, made key saves. The first half proved challenging for Tottenham, with no shots on goal.
However, the second half brought a turning point when Madison’s cross deflected off Joel Ward into the net, giving Tottenham the lead. Palace had a subsequent opportunity to level the score, but Guehi’s header narrowly missed the target.
In the 67th minute, Son Heung-min sealed the victory for Tottenham, taking advantage of a play initiated by Vicario. While Jordan Ayew managed to score a late equalizer for Palace, Tottenham held on to secure the win and maintain their five-point lead at the top of the table.
