More quick interplay between Son and Maddison nearly released the latter, but Jefferson Lerma made an excellent recovery challenge. Crystal Palace were frustrating Tottenham, though, and ended the half with a flurry of dangerous corners. Despite their lead, Spurs lacked a bit of control in the match at this stage and were being hounded by Palace’s spring-loaded pressing. Palace were given a warning shot with one back-to-front move that almost came off, but they would not escape a second time. Despite multiple checks from VAR, the goal was given and Tottenham had to endure a nervy final few minutes.
