"Four minutes after the goal, Micky van de Ven dragged Sarr down from behind, giving away a penalty and getting himself sent off. Sarr scored from the spot on 40 minutes, and that was just the beginning of the end for Spurs. Jorgen Strand Larsen put one through Guglielmo Vicario's legs in the first minute of stoppage time to make it 2-1, and Sarr ran in behind again in the seventh added minute for the third."
"With the defeat, Spurs (29 points) have lost twice as many games (14) as they have won this season (7) and sit just one point above the relegation zone with nine games left to play - plenty of time to pull themselves together and avoid the unthinkable, or not."
Tottenham Hotspur lost 3-1 to Crystal Palace in a devastating performance that intensified relegation concerns. After Dominic Solanke gave Spurs an early lead in the 34th minute, Micky van de Ven was sent off for fouling Ismaila Sarr in the 36th minute, conceding a penalty. Sarr converted the penalty at 40 minutes, then Jorgen Strand Larsen scored in stoppage time, followed by Sarr's second goal in the 45th+7 minute. Tottenham now sits at 29 points, just one point above the relegation zone with 14 losses against 7 wins this season, facing nine remaining matches to avoid demotion.
