Crystal Palace 1 – 3 Tottenham Hotspurs

Goals from Nassir Chadli, Delli Alli and Harry Kane meant Spurs won 1 – 3 with a Vertonghan own goal Palace’s only strike. Tottenham move on into the top four but Palace maintain their current run of poor form and struggled with basic possession and given their position this was a very poor result. Spurs continued their good form and moved into the top four with this result. Europe awaits for Spurs after this victory while Palace still lack a striker given this disappointing defeat. Although Palace dominated the first half with a Vertonghan own goal giving Palace a 1-0 lead at halftime.

Palace’s current run of form is disappointing given their start to the season. Yet reality states Palace current run of form is disappointing given their start to the season. Yet reality states Palace survived more than one season in the premier league for the first time in history in 2013 so perhaps if Palace concentrate on capitalising their good start to avoid relegation rather than thinking about Europe.


Next week the FA Cup takes centre stage as Palace play Stoke, Yet given current form perhaps it may be easier for Palace to concentrate on the league given their current poor form  yet if they could go on a cup run the advantage of winning games cannot be underestimated.
