Spurs' Upturn Continues After Dispatching 10-Man Palace
The straight red left Crystal Palace with 10 men and helped Tottenham seize control through Archie Gray's opener, officials said.
- On Saturday, Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta was sent off in the 13th minute at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium after a VAR review confirmed a reckless tackle on defender Micky van de Ven, leaving Palace with 10 men.
- Palace head coach Pierre Sage faced mounting pressure entering this London derby with his team in the Premier League relegation zone, following consecutive defeats to Brighton and Newcastle United.
- Capitalizing on their numerical advantage, Tottenham midfielder Archie Gray opened the scoring with a 25th-minute header, and former Brighton centre-back Jan Paul van Hecke doubled the lead with 17 minutes remaining.
- Resurgent Tottenham secured a 2-0 victory, marking their third consecutive Premier League win for the first time in 20 months, while Palace remained scoreless after the early dismissal.
- BBC Sport chief football writer Phil McNulty criticized Mateta's 'reckless stupidity,' saying the striker "let him down badly" during a critical match for the under-pressure Palace head coach.
