Spurs end almost 21-month drought with third straight win over Palace
Tottenham beat Crystal Palace 2-0 to record their first three consecutive league wins since February 2025.
Tottenham crushed Crystal Palace 2-0 on Saturday, extending their winning run to three consecutive league victories. The win marks the first time in almost 21 months Spurs have strung together three league wins.
Palace were reduced to ten men after 13 minutes when striker Jean-Philippe Mateta was sent off for a foul on Micky van de Ven. Spurs dominated possession at 79.4% and had 34 shots to Palace's just two, the biggest shot difference Tottenham have recorded since records began in 2003.
De Zerbi's expensive summer signings Sandro Tonali (£100m) and Mateus Fernandes (£85m) are now showing the form that justified their cost.

- 34 to 2

- Tonali transfer fee
- 85 million pounds
- Fernandes transfer fee
Why it mattersThe streak shows De Zerbi's tactical changes are working and suggests the club's summer spending may finally deliver results after years of inconsistency.
AustraliaNo direct Australian effect yet, though the result boosts Tottenham's chances of European qualification, which many Australian football fans follow closely.
