At the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Oliver Glasner faced his second game since being appointed as the new Crystal Palace manager.
While Palace spent much of the game under immense pressure, a moment of magic from Eberechi Eze opened the scoring in the 59th minute.
After holding onto the lead for nearly 20-minutes, Spurs then turned the result around with two in four minutes. Timo Werner grabbed the first and Christian Romero got the second.
Ultimately these were two very disappointing goals to concede, and the third was also poor as Heung-min Son finished Palace off. This is how the game ended with Spurs winning 3-1.
The Eberechi Eze effect
Back from injury, Eze could’ve been excused if he took some time to find his feet, but he had other ideas.
A moment of absolute magic as he beat Guglielmo Vicario from a free-kick in spectacular fashion to put Palace 1-0 ahead at the time.
Sam Johnstone is now firmly above Dean Henderson
The goalkeeper position has been the topic of much discussion at Selhurst Park throughout this campaign. After Dean Henderson impressed through December it looked like he was guaranteed to keep it.
After Roy Hodgson stepped down though, Sam Johnstone returned to the starting line-up and has been very impressive since.
Johnstone made a series of good saves before Spurs gt their two goals, both were disappointing goals to concede with the 30-year-old likely furious with his defence.
