LONDON — Son Heung-min’s second-half goal secured Tottenham a 1-0 win over Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Sunday. Playing four days after beating Real Madrid in the Champions League, Tottenham was without forward Dele Alli, centre back Toby Alderweireld and goalkeeper Hugo Lloris because of injury. They laboured at times against Palace and had back-up goalkeeper Paolo Gazzaniga to thanks for saves from Scott Dann and Andros Townsend. Palace winger Wilfried Zaha did get past Gazzaniga, but failed to finish into an empty net from an acute angle. Tottenham started the day in third place, eight points off leader Manchester City, which was playing Arsenal later Sunday.
