"I don't think it's for me, they fight and they battle because they want to be a good team. They fight for each other, for the club, the staff, and the fans most importantly. I liked the character and mentality in team today, there is so much to improve but you need to have that in the Premier League, especially away from home."
"I liked the discipline in the team, the way we gave very few transitions away, which is the threat of Crystal Palace. The discipline to not give those away was good because that is what they want. We defended excellently, we gave maybe one chance away in open play and the rest was set pieces."
Tottenham beat Crystal Palace 1-0 at Selhurst Park with Archie Gray scoring his first senior goal just before half-time. The win moved Spurs to 11th in the Premier League, one point off the top half, and helped ease pressure on the manager. Players demonstrated strong character, mentality and defensive discipline, limiting Palace's transitions and conceding almost no chances in open play; most opportunities came from set pieces. Two Richarlison goals were disallowed during the match. Spurs have 17 away points from nine matches and travel to Brentford for their first game of 2026.
