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.
