Tottenham Hotspur vs Crystal Palace LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
Follow live coverage as Tottenham Hotspur face Crystal Palace today in the Premier League. Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent, as reigning champions Manchester City look to make it an unprecedented five titles in a row come the end of 2024/25.
The likes of Arsenal and Liverpool will be chasing Pep Guardiola's side, but just as fascinating will be the race for Champions League places, with more teams than ever before having designs on top-four finishes. Chelsea remain big-spending, Manchester United's latest rebuild continues and both Tottenham and Newcastle will expect improvements this year - yet it was Aston Villa who snared fourth last term.
Meanwhile, it's Southampton, Leicester City and Ipswich Town who made it back to the elite after promotion last year and each will have hope they can make it more than a one-year stay. Follow the latest live action from the Premier League below:
Tottenham Hotspur vs Crystal Palace
Crystal Palace make history as they complete a league double over Tottenham for the very first time with a 2-0 win in North London. An Eze double either side of half-time mean Palace go into next weekend's FA Cup final with Manchester City following a first win at Tottenham since 1997. Eze swept home two neat finishes from close-range after being set up by Munoz and then Sarr. Both Sarr and Lacroix were denied by VAR and Kinsky made some fine stops to keep Tottenham in the contest. Palace had 23 efforts on goal throughout the 90 minutes in a dominant display from Oliver Glasner's team. They created an xG of 3.39 as they enjoyed a first Premier League victory in six attempts. Spurs are now winless in five league matches as they created an xG of just 0.68 in another underwhelming display. They fall into 17th in the table, with a trip to Aston Villa next before the Europa League final. Palace stay 12th and will prepare for the FA Cup final against Manchester City next. That is all from me. Thanks for joining me and goodbye.

Nearly a third for Palace! It is a brilliant ball in-behind the Spurs defence from Guehi to find the run of Nketiah. The former Arsenal striker opens his body up as he looks to curl the ball beyond Kinsky, but the goalkeper does wel to deny him.

Palace are in cruise control as the match nears its conclusion. Tottenham have offered very little going forward as they seem unable to break down the visitors' defence.

Spurs work the ball neatly around the Palace penalty area, but the final cross into the box by Gray is easy work for Henderson.
