"Tottenham ground out a much-needed three points for the under-fire Thomas Frank with a 1-0 win at Crystal Palace, while high-flying Sunderland were held 1-1 by Leeds on Sunday. Archie Gray was Spurs' unlikely match winner at Selhurst Park with his first senior goal as Frank's men won for just the second time in nine league games. Richarlison had two goals disallowed for offside but Gray's header was enough for Tottenham against a Palace side running out of steam after a gruelling schedule."
"An overdue victory will temporarily ease the scrutiny on Frank, but another performance devoid of flair going forward will do little to quieten his doubters in the Tottenham support. The visitors did not have a shot on target from open play before half-time but were only denied by a VAR review for offside when Richarlison thought he had opened the scoring."
Tottenham won 1-0 at Selhurst Park with Archie Gray scoring his first senior goal. The result was Spurs' second league win in nine games and provided temporary relief for manager Thomas Frank. Richarlison had two goals disallowed for offside and Tottenham had no shot on target from open play before half-time. Gray's header from a Richarlison flick at a corner produced the only goal. Palace are winless in five games after stretching limited resources across three competitions and again conceded from a set-piece. Oliver Glasner had described his side's set-piece defending as "embarrassing" after a recent defeat to Leeds. Sunderland were held 1-1 by Leeds.
