"Archie Gray's first senior goal secured a 1-0 win for Tottenham over Crystal Palace, who suffered a third straight Premier League defeat. Gray snatched the winner before the break, though Palace will feel they should not have come away from Sunday's clash empty-handed. Richarlison - who got the assist for the winner - thought he had given Thomas Frank's side a 17th-minute lead when he slotted through Dean Henderson's legs, but it was chalked off as Lucas Bergvall was offside in the build-up."
"Jean-Philippe Mateta and Will Hughes both missed chances to put Palace in front, and they were ultimately punished for their wastefulness in the 42nd minute. Pedro Porro's 42nd-minute corner was poorly defended, leaving an unmarked Gray to flick in his header from close range. Justin Devenny ballooned an effort over the crossbar, and Maxence Lacroix headed wide in the second half as Palace continued to struggle in front of goal."
Archie Gray scored his first senior goal with a close-range header from a poorly defended Pedro Porro corner to give Tottenham a 1-0 win over Crystal Palace. Richarlison provided the assist and had an earlier effort ruled out after Lucas Bergvall was offside in the build-up. Jean-Philippe Mateta and Will Hughes missed chances that could have put Palace ahead, and Palace struggled to convert chances thereafter. Spurs finished stronger with late efforts that nearly extended the lead. Spurs sit one point off the top half of the table, while Palace have scored significantly fewer goals than their 2025-26 xG suggested.
