LONDON:
Eberechi Eze scored on either side of halftime to give Crystal Palace a 2-0 win at Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday and condemn the hosts to their 20th Premier League defeat of the season.

After a dominant display in the first half and two disallowed goals, Palace finally broke the deadlock just before halftime when winger Daniel Munoz bombed down the right flank and squared the ball to Eze for a tap in.

Three minutes after the interval Tottenham were rocked by another sweeping attack as Eze ghosted into the box and calmly slotted home Ismaila Sarr’s pass to net his seventh league goal of the season.

Palace remained in 12th place with 49 points from 36 games after their first league win since April, while Tottenham drop down into 17th place after West Ham United beat Manchester United.
