Key moments

  • The first half gets underway.

  • Tottenham are growing into the match.
  • Michael Olise whips a great ball in from the right hand side but Wilfried Zaha can’t quite reach it.
  • Eberechi Eze has a perfect opportunity to place a through ball to Wilfried Zaha but his pass is too heavy.

  • CHANCE! Crystal Palace defender Joachim Anderson (£4.5m) slams a long range attempt on goal which whisps past the post.
