Tottenham Hotspur were plunged even further into relegation trouble as they were beaten 3-1 at home by Crystal Palace.

The North Londoners then suffered a 2-1 defeat away to Fulham last Sunday, and now they’ve been beaten fair and square by Crystal Palace.

Igor Tudor’s side went into the game against Palace under serious pressure, and things went from bad to worse as Micky van de Ven was sent off in the first half. He was shown a red card for preventing a goalscoring opportunity when he brought down Ismaila Sarr after the Palace winger had outpaced him into the box.
