Archie Gray's First Senior Goal Lifts Spurs Past Palace 1-0

The result briefly eases scrutiny on Thomas Frank.

Overview

  • The decisive moment came from a Pedro Porro corner kept alive by Randal Kolo Muani and Richarlison before Gray headed in from close range.
  • Two Richarlison finishes were overturned for offside after VAR checks, including an earlier effort ruled out due to Lucas Bergvall’s position in the buildup.
  • Tottenham climbed to 11th on 25 points, closing to within one of ninth-placed Crystal Palace after securing a rare away clean sheet.
  • Palace’s winless run stretched to five as set-piece problems persisted, with their last six league goals conceded all coming from dead balls.
  • Spurs prevailed despite suspensions for Cristian Romero and Xavi Simons, and Gray became the youngest Englishman to score for the club in the Premier League since Dele Alli in 2016.
