Wilfried Zaha struck first for Crystal Palace in the 75th minute from the penalty spot, then Odsonne Édouard added another in the 84th minute At the end of 90 a dissapointed Tottenham Hotspur couldn’t manage to score, and Crystal Palace took the shutout win. Tottenham Hotspur is looking for direction having earned 15 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, Chelsea recorded a 1-0 shutout win against Zenit.

Nuno Herlander Simões Espírito Santo’s Tottenham Hotspur squad will be without Heung-Min Son, Giovani Lo Celso, Davinson Sánchez and Steven Bergwijn, while Thomas Tuchel’s squad will be without Christian Pulišić and Reece James.
