Mauricio Pochettino got the perfect response to the summit talks he held with his Tottenham squad as a first-half blitz saw them hammer Crystal Palace 4-0.

Boss Pochettino got his group together this week following the closure of the European transfer window to galvanise them and it did the trick as they posted a joint-record win at their new stadium.

They got the job done in the opening 45 minutes thanks to Son Heung-min's double, a Patrick van Aanholt own goal and Erik Lamela's fourth.

Having suffered such an unsettled start to the season, where a host of their players' futures were uncertain, this will feel like a watershed moment and the catalyst for getting back to the level of the past few years.

Palace, who had only conceded two goals prior to this game, had an afternoon to forget as they were unable to replicate their impressive win at Manchester United.
