This Friday, Tottenham temporarily topped the English Football League tournament with a 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace and will spend the rest of the 10th round awaiting mistakes from their main rivals.
The London opener saw Tottenham travel to Crystal Palace to record their eighth Premier League win, their fourth in a row, five points clear of defending champions Arsenal and Manchester City.
Arsenal host bottom-placed Sheffield United on Saturday, while Manchester City take on United in a city derby on Sunday in the final match of the day.
At Selhurst Park, after a scoreless first half, Joel Ward’s own goal in the 53rd minute gave Tottenham the lead in the London derby, followed by another goal in the 66th minute, this time scored by South Korean Son.
Crystal Palace also reduced the deficit in 90+4 minutes of stoppage time through Ghanaian Jordan Ayew, but could not avoid a third straight game without a win and a second consecutive defeat, leaving the team of the very experienced coach Roy Hodgson (76) already 11 – place in the competition.
