Crystal Palace’s difficult afternoon at Tottenham was shaped by an early dismissal for Jean-Philippe Mateta, leaving the visitors to play with 10 men.
Tottenham went on to secure a 2-0 victory, continuing their revival while Palace were unable to recover from the setback.
The defeat increases the pressure on Crystal Palace manager Pierre Sage, with the result adding to the scrutiny surrounding his position.
Palace will be left to reflect on a match in which Mateta’s early red card had a decisive impact before Tottenham completed the win.
