When Tom Bramall flicked his yellow card towards Gudmundsson for a foul on Ismaila Sarr, the red card didn’t immediately follow. It was not until he was surrounded by Palace players and a few glances towards the fourth official that the red card came out. When Gudmundsson did receive his marching orders, Palace centre-back Jaydee Canvot punched the air with both fists in furious celebration. ‘I’m sitting here because Crystal Palace was playing against getting relegated and Roy Hodgson was sitting here because Crystal Palace was playing against getting relegated.’ANY WAY BACK FOR MATETA?

There is some life left in his spell as Tottenham interim manager yet, life in his team’s season perhaps. But as time wore on, so the feeling grew that there was something in this game for Tottenham. Not brilliant, but better, and Richarlison – starting his first league game since early January and booed throughout as a former Everton player – had been a nuisance throughout. Tottenham looked like a team and that’s a step forward in itself, no matter how strange it sounds. Here last April Slot’s Liverpool beat Tottenham 5-1 to clinch their first title in front of a crowd for 35 years.
