Tottenham Hotspur returned to winning ways with a resounding 4-0 victory over Crystal Palace tonight. Read the match report here, or have your say on today’s win on the Vital Spurs fan forum here.
Below is the pick of the stats from tonight’s win:
- Crystal Palace have yet to win back-to-back league matches this season, and have now lost successive league matches at Selhurst Park for the first time since January to February last season (vs West Ham, Liverpool, and Chelsea).
- Palace have also never beaten Spurs back-to-back at home in the league.
- Palace have a poor recent Premiership record in the month of January, winning just two of their last 16 matches in the opening month of the calendar year.
- This was only Spurs’ second London derby win out of 6 matches so far this season, and their first since the 2-1 home win against Fulham in September (2 wins, 3 draws, 1 loss).
- Indeed, Spurs have now ended their wretched run of 10 away league London derbies without a victory, with the last such victory before tonight being the 1-0 win over Fulham two seasons ago in March 2021.
- After tonight, Harry Kane has now scored seven goals and registered four assists in his last seven appearances against the Eagles.
- This was Spurs’ first clean sheet in 10 matches in all competitions, and in 7 league matches.
- This was Heung-min Son’s first league goal since September, ending the South Korean’s worst run of scoring since November 2018.
- This was only the second league match in which Son has scored, and the third in all competitions.
