Crystal Palace 1-0 Tottenham: Mateta's goal seals Glasner's first Premier League victory of the season

In their previous five league encounters, Palace had suffered defeats at the hands of Spurs. However, Mateta's return to the starting line-up turned things around, ending their losing streak and giving a much-needed boost to head coach Oliver Glasner and his team.

Spurs came undone for the goal after being caught out when playing out from the back, Micky van de Ven dispossessed deep in his own half by Daniel Munoz, whose cross was beautifully flicked on by Eberechi Eze for Mateta's goal after 31 minutes.

Ange Postecoglou's side produced an uncharacteristic display in south London, struggling to cope with the intensity of Palace's work out of possession, and rarely looked like scoring after going a goal down. The hosts, in fact, always felt more likely.

Palace lift themselves out of the relegation zone after ending their eight-game winless run with a dogged performance, creating a two-point cushion between themselves and the bottom three.

Spurs, meanwhile, remain in eighth, four points adrift of fourth-placed Chelsea, after suffering their third away league defeat of the season. They have won just three league games on the road in 2024.
