Another London derby in the Premier League
Crystal Palace beat Tottenham 1-0 in the Premier League on Sunday thanks to a Jean-Philippe Mateta goal to finally claim their first win of the season and climb out of the relegation zone.
Palace scored at the half-hour mark when Daniel Munoz pinched the ball from Spurs centre-back Micky van de Ven and put a cross into the box which was expertly flicked by Eberechi Eze to an unmarked Mateta who fired home.
The home side played with far more intensity than Spurs, who looked a bit fatigued after their Europa League win over AZ Alkmaar three days ago, while the absence of forward Son Heung-min blunted their attack. Palace could have scored more if not for Spurs keeper Guglielmo Vicario who made several saves, but it was Oliver Glasner's side that sealed the three points to move up to 17th while Spurs remain in eighth place.
