Tottenham Hotspur’s Premier League crisis deepened as they slumped to a fifth consecutive defeat, losing 3-1 at home to Crystal Palace. The result leaves Spurs just one point above the relegation zone, with 2026 still winless for Ange Postecoglou’s side.
Match Overview
Crystal Palace stunned Spurs with a ruthless first-half display, powered by Ismaïla Sarr’s hat-trick. Tottenham briefly fought back through Dominic Solanke (34’) and Micky van de Ven (38’), but defensive lapses and ill-discipline proved costly.
