Crystal Palace vs Tottenham LIVE!

Crystal Palace beat Tottenham 1-0 in the Premier League on Sunday thanks to a Jean-Philippe Mateta goal to finally claim their first win of the season and climb out of the relegation zone.

Palace scored at the half-hour mark when Daniel Munoz pinched the ball from Spurs centre-back Micky van de Ven and put a cross into the box which was expertly flicked by Eberechi Eze to an unmarked Mateta who fired home.

The home side played with far more intensity than Spurs, who looked a bit fatigued after their Europa League win over AZ Alkmaar three days ago, while the absence of forward Son Heung-min blunted their attack. Palace could have scored more if not for Spurs keeper Guglielmo Vicario who made several saves, but it was Oliver Glasner's side that sealed the three points to move up to 17th while Spurs remain in eighth place.

• GOAL! Mateta sweeps home the opener

Full-time

16:01 , Alex Young

98min: That’s it! Palace are up and running in the league at the ninth time of asking!

By word, they needed that. Spurs never laid a finger on them.

15:59 , Alex Young

96min: Werner with another decent delivery into the box... but he’s offside.

15:56 , Alex Young

93min: Porro gets down the right but the ball into the area is behind everyone.

15:54 , Alex Young

91min: Great ball in from Werner, which Henderson does just enough to take the ball off Richarlison’s toe.

15:52 , Alex Young

90min: There will be SEVEN minutes of stoppage time.

15:51 , Alex Young

89min: The Palace press is unrelenting, showing no signs of sitting back yet.

15:50 , Alex Young

88min: Wharton is off, replaced by Kamada.

15:49 , Alex Young

15:45 , Alex Young

15:43 , Alex Young

80min: Postecoglou looks furious.

15:41 , Alex Young

78min: Spurs narrowing in on another poor result on the road. They’ve won just three away league game in 2024.

Dan Kilpatrick at Selhurst Park

15:37 , Alex Young

Despite their triple change, there have been few signs of a Spurs fightback but you imagine nerves will start to creep in for the Palace players and fans as a first win of the season edges closes.

Spurs are now playing with a front of Richarlison and Solanke supported by Johnson and Werner but still struggling to create chances.

15:36 , Alex Young

73min: An awful first touch from Richarlison after being found by Porro, giving Lacroix enough time to recover and clear.

15:31 , Alex Young

68min: Eze drills in a shot after a free kick routine, Vicario parries and Chalobah fluffs the follow-up... but he’s offside anyway.

15:30 , Alex Young

67min: That’s Sarr’s final contribution, he’s replaced by Nketiah, who has gone over a year without a league goal.

15:28

65min: Van de Ven knocks down Sarr as the last man, but it’s a yellow card. He wasn’t heading towards goal.

15:24 , Alex Young

62min: Werner, Richarlison and Sarr are coming on. Maddison, Moore and Kulusevski make way.

15:23 , Alex Young

60min: Spurs with a great chance to counter as Solanke begins to run clear of the Palace defence but Romero’s pass is behind the striker.

We should be getting changes soon. Moore and Kulusevski, who is booked, you’d imagine.

15:21 , Alex Young

58min: That looked to be it as Eze winds up a volley inside the area but gets it all wrong. Almost a sitter.

15:21 , Alex Young

57min: My word. Vicario dives one way and saves Sarr’s deflected shot with his feet.

Seems only a matter of time before Palace get a second.

Dan Kilpatrick at Selhurst Park

15:18 , Alex Young

I thought Palace had a strong case for a penalty there. Van de Ven's arm was across Eze's body and blocking him.

Darren Bond said no and the VAR was always unlikely to overturn the referee's call.

Spurs, though, are living dangerous and have barely picked up since the interval.

15:16 , Alex Young

53min: Palace are screaming for a penalty as Eze goes to ground inside the area. The referee waves play on and Spurs look to have got away with one there.

15:14 , Alex Young

52min: Spurs still haven’t woken up. Palace looking more and more confident of securing a first win of the season.

NO GOAL!

15:13 , Alex Young

49min: Eze thinks he has extended the lead, but it’s flagged for offside as Eze goes a tad early to chase Wharton’s ball over the top.

15:11 , Alex Young

48min: Better from Spurs as Johnson flies down the right and finds Kulusevski into the centre, but Henderson is quick to smother.

15:10 , Alex Young

47min: Palace start the second half on the front foot.

Second half!

15:08 , Alex Young

46min: Here we go, again.

15:07 , Alex Young

No changes, it appears.

15:06 , Alex Young

I wonder if Postecoglou will be tempted to make half-time changes, as he did against West Ham and AZ in the last two games.

Dan Kilpatrick at Selhurst Park

15:00 , Alex Young

Mateta's strike the difference.

Spurs' worst half since Brighton three weeks ago, though they picked up a little after the goal, with Johnson hitting the post and Maddison going close. Palace are half way to a first win of the season.

A half-time rocket from Postecoglou incoming surely.

Half-time!

14:52 , Alex Young

52min: There’s the whistle.

14:52 , Alex Young

50min: Superb save from Henderson to deny Maddison from close range!

Maddison looked set to stroke home from close range, but it’s a remarkable full-stretch stop.

14:50 , Alex Young

49min: Palace send a corner straight onto the top of Vicario, who pushes away as far as Eze to volley high and wide.

14:47 , Alex Young

46min: Porro fizzes a half-volley narrowly over from the edge of the area.

14:47 , Alex Young

45min: Postecoglou looks very annoyed on the touchline, and you can’t blame him.

Munoz beats Moore in the air as we enter added time, of which there will be six minutes.

14:43 , Alex Young

41min: Munoz booked for dragging back Odogie. That should be good news for Moore.

14:42 , Alex Young

39min: Chance for Spurs with Porro drilling in a free kick from out wide, which Van de Ven gets on the end of but can’t direct a header towards goal.

Dan Kilpatrick at Selhurst Park

14:37 , Alex Young

Assuming he meant it, that was a sublime assist from Eze, who deftly flicked the ball into Mateta's path. But Spurs were their own worst enemies in the build-up, with Romero playing Van de Ven into trouble.

Spurs haven't been this bad in a half since... Brighton a few weeks ago. The visitors have been so passive and sloppy, and Palace are growing in confidence.

14:36 , Alex Young

33min: Decent reaction from Spurs as Moore and Maddison link up to find Solanke in the area, but Palace hack the ball clear.

GOAL!

14:33 , Alex Young

31min: Spurs make a mess of clearing the ball, Van de Ven guilty of a rushed attempt which is closed down and the ball comes back in for Mateta to drill home inside the area!

14:32 , Alex Young

30min: Sarr drills a strike at goal with Udogie covering. Spurs not coping well at the moment.

14:29 , Alex Young

27min: First real chance of the game as Hughes stands up a superb cross for Lacroix to throw himself at, but the header is over from eight yards.

Not quite a sitter but had to get it on target.

Dan Kilpatrick at Selhurst Park

14:27 , Alex Young

This is a really scrappy game which should suit Palace more than Spurs. The hosts are pressing brilliantly and denying Spurs' in-form players, notably Kulusevski and Moore, time and space on the ball.

14:26 , Alex Young

25min: Kulusevski will continue but he’ll have to come off first as it was a head injury. He looks angry and/or frustrated.

And now Porro is on the deck.

14:24 , Alex Young

23min: Another pause in play after Hughes comes on as Kulusevski is clattered by Guehi.

14:23 , Alex Young

22min: Looks like Lerma won’t continue. Hughes is warming up.

14:22 , Alex Young

21min: Lerma hits the deck and will need attention. He’s shaking his head a bit, will he be able to continue?

14:20 , Alex Young

19min: Spurs are wobbling a bit, sloppy passes as they rush to find space.

Luckily for them, Palace are doing the same.

14:19 , Alex Young

17min: Palace win a free kick out wide, around 30 yards out. Eze fizzes in a drilled cross but no team-mate goes to attack it. Strange.

14:16 , Alex Young

15min: First chance for Moore to get his head up as he whips a cross into the area towards Solanke, but Henderson comes out to collect.

14:15 , Alex Young

13min: Corner comes in, is cleared, and then Spurs win another corner.

That one comes in, but the referee blows his whistle for offside.

14:14 , Alex Young

12min: Solanke does well to hold off Lacroix and turn inside the area before winning a corner.

14:12 , Alex Young

11min: Concern here as Maddison hits the deck clutching the bottom of his back. He eventually gets up and immediately plays in Solanke, while still wincing.

Dan Kilpatrick at Selhurst Park

14:11 , Alex Young

Unremarkable start from both teams here at Selhurst, with Palace understandably looking a bit jittery and Spurs sloppy so far.

We've just had a first glimpse of Moore on the ball and he easily beat his man to win a free-kick.

14:11 , Alex Young

9min: Moore skips past Wharton to win a free kick. It’s not been a thrilling start at Selhurst.

14:09 , Alex Young

8min: All a bit stop-start at the moment. Plenty of action down the Palace right as Moore, Solanke, Udogie and Maddison try to carve open some space.

Nothing doing at the moment.

14:06 , Alex Young

5min: First touch for Moore, but he’s soon crowded out by Sarr to win a throw in.

14:06 , Alex Young

4min: Spurs back on the ball and Romero again tries a ball over the top for Solanke, but Henderson can claim.

14:04 , Alex Young

3min: Corner comes to nothing.

14:04 , Alex Young

2min: Couple of early touches for Romero further up the pitch but he soon gives it away and lets Palace break which leads to the first corner for the hosts.

Kick-off!

14:01 , Alex Young

1min: Here we go!

13:57 , Alex Young

Here come the teams!

Dan Kilpatrick at Selhurst Park

13:53 , Alex Young

Circumstances have definitely helped Mikey Moore's progression to this point. Son is injured, Richarlison and Odobert just returning from lay-offs and Werner hopelessly out of form, but you can't say the teenager hasn't earned his chance.

Moore was brilliant against AZ Alkmaar on Thursday night and it will be fascinating to see if he can be similarly impactful in the Premier League. Seems likely he'll get around an hour before we see Richarlison or Werner from the bench.

13:51

Final prep done. The players are back in the dressing rooms. Not long to go now.

13:38 , Alex Young

Moore will be up against Munoz and Lacroix down Palace’s right this afternoon, which is no easy feat. Maddison will be inside to his right to help out when needed.

The pair linked up well on Thursday night.

13:35 , Alex Young

For the first time in Premier League history, four clubs this season failed to win any of their opening eight games of the campaign.

Ipswich, Southampton and Wolves played yesterday and still didn’t win. Crystal Palace, the fourth club, could again break their record with another draw or loss today.

13:33 , Alex Young

Dan Kilpatrick checks in.

13:21 , Alex Young

Some stat from the guys at Opta.

Rotating Spurs skippers

13:18 , Alex Young

With Son out for Spurs, Romero is the captain today.

Maddison was skipper for the win over AZ, with Romero rested. He earned praise for giving Richarlison penalty duties over himself in the 1-0 win.

Mikey Moore starts!

13:08

So, Spurs skipper Son does miss out but the big news is that Mikey Moore, and young left winger, has been given the nod to replace him in his first ever Premier League start.

I was at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Thursday night to see the teenager start against AZ Alkmaar, and he lit up the second half. More of the same today, hopefully.

For Crystal Palace, it’s three changes from the 1-0 loss at Nottingham Forest last time out. Wharton and Mateta return to the starting XI.

Here’s how the hosts look!

Dejan Kulusevski speaks on Timo Werner form

12:37

Dejan Kulusevski has promised to rally round out-of-form Tottenham team-mate Timo Werner.

Werner was replaced at half-time of Thursday's 1-0 win over AZ Alkmaar in the Europa League after another mixed display where he squandered a gilt-edged chance in the 27th minute.

RB Leipzig loanee Werner recently deputised for injured captain Son Heung-min, a doubt for Sunday's trip to Crystal Palace with muscle soreness, but has not scored in his last 16 appearances for Spurs.

"It happens to all of us," Kulusevski insisted after Tottenham's seventh victory in eight matches. Sometimes better games, sometimes a little bit worse.

"I love Timo as a guy. He won the Champions League, we can't forget that. I respect him a lot. We are there for him and we are there for everybody, everyone improving together."

12:26 , Alex Young

It sounds like both Heung-min Son and Wilson Odobert have not been passed fit.

Confirmed team in about 20 minutes.

Will Mickey Moore start?

12:18 , Alex Young

Tottenham head coach Ange Postecoglou is "cautious" about starting Mikey Moore against Crystal Palace .

Moore, 17, and Werner are the leading contenders to start on the left wing for Spurs at Selhurst Park, with captain Heung-min Son "unlikely" to feature, according to Postecoglou.

Moore was outstanding in Thursday's 1-0 win over AZ Alkmaar, particularly after moving to the left following Postecoglou's decision to withdraw the misfiring Werner at the interval.

The head coach has said the teenager is ready to start "any game" but played down the chances of his full League debut in south London this weekend.

"He's one of the options," Postecoglou said. "[But] again, two games in a week...

"The biggest concern I have for him is physically more than anything else. He's still a growing kid. His body is still adjusting to this level, so to ask him to play two games in a short space of time, I'd be cautious about that. But we'll have a look at how the team shapes up."

Glasner frustrated by summer spending

12:11 , Alex Young

Oliver Glasner has said Crystal Palace should have recruited better in the summer after losing the likes of Michael Olise, Jordan Ayew, Joachim Andersen and Sam Johnstone.

Palace ended up pocketing a net transfer window profit, signing Trevoh Chalobah and Matt Turner on loan, Daichi Kamada on a free transfer, and forking out a total of £65m on Chadi Riad, Maxence Lacroix, Eddie Nketiah and Ismaila Sarr.

Glasner said: “We were 10th last season and now to improve? Read the table. Ninth I think was West Ham who invested £140m net, eighth was Manchester United and seventh was Newcastle.

“So to improve we have to overtake one of them and when we look back, Fulham was 13th or something, investing £50m net and Brighton were 11th investing £180m net. These are the surroundings of us, we saved £20m net.”

Asked whether he feels disappointed by Palace’s summer business, Glasner replied: “It’s not a public discussion. I’ve already mentioned it several times before: we could have done better in the transfer window.

“With four signings on deadline day, it’s not how you wished a transfer window would work. No one says: ‘Yes, we will wait until deadline day and then sign four players two weeks after the Premier League has started and without [the signings having] any pre-season.’

“This is clearly what we should have done better. But in the end it was the club’s decision. We all expected a lot from this season. It hurts; maybe we lost a sense of realism.”

Score prediction

11:55 , Alex Young

Consistency may not always be a strong point for Spurs but they will fancy their chances against a Palace side bereft of confidence after a winless start to the season.

Spurs have won their last five on the bounce against the Eagles and only lost one of their last 18 league encounters.

Spurs to win, 3-1.

Crystal Palace team news

11:47 , Alex Young

Adam Wharton will stay with the Palace squad for the next three games before a decision is made as to whether he will undergo surgery - the 20-year-old has been struggling with a groin issue since the summer.

Matheus Franca, Chadi Riad, Rob Holding, Chris Richards are injured and are not expected to feature for Palace. Cheick Doucoure is back in training but this game comes too soon.

Matt Turner is also available, having missed the Forest game due to the terms of his loan move from the Nottingham club.

Mikey Moore to come in for Heung-min Son?

11:40 , Alex Young

The big question for Ange Postecoglou is whether Mikey Moore is ready to fill the shoes of Tottenham captain Heung-min Son, who has not trained this week and is "unlikely" to return to the starting XI.

Moore was outstanding in the second half against AZ Alkmaar in the Europa League on Thursday and Postecoglou says he is ready to start "any game", but the head coach may be reluctant to play the 17-year-old from the off twice in four days.

The same is also true for Richarlison, who returned to the lineup for the first time since late August against the Dutch side and scored the winner from the penalty spot, while Wilson Odobert made his comeback from injury as a late substitute and is unlikely to start at Selhurst Park.

That leaves Timo Werner, who was hooked at half-time against AZ Alkmaar but may be given another chance from the left wing, with Moore held in reserve.

The only other major decision for Postecoglou is whether to keep James Maddison in the XI after the half-time introduction of Pape Matar Sarr for the England international helped to transform last weekend's win over West Ham.

The rest of Postecoglou's team picks itself, although there has been little to choose between Rodrigo Bentancur and Yves Bissouma in midfield this season. Bentancur started against AZ Alkmaar, likely meaning a return to the XI for the Malian on Sunday.

Tottenham hope that full-back Djed Spence will next week return to full training following a groin strain.

How to watch in UK? Think again

11:33 , Alex Young

Sadly, supporters in the UK will not be able to watch the game.

The game was initially scheduled for a 3pm BST kick-off time on Saturday, October 26 but was pushed back due to Spurs playing in the Europa League on Thursday night.

As a result, it cannot be shown live in the UK, given it was originally meant to take place during the 3pm blackout imposed across English football on Saturday afternoons.

Supporters will be able to watch highlights for free when Match of the Day 2 airs at 10.30pm on Sunday on BBC One.

Welcome

11:29 , Alex Young

Good morning and welcome to the Standard’s LIVE coverage of the Premier League clash between Crystal Palace and Tottenham.

It’s another London derby and one which Spurs have triumphed in the previous five and lost just one of 18 league meetings.

Palace are bereft of confidence and still without a win. Will ‘Dr Tottenham’ come to the rescue? Form suggests not, with Spurs winning seven of their last eight.
