Tottenham won against Crystal Palace 3:0. Palace wanted to postpone game, but FA decided that game should go on. Match started with visitors have more of the ball, but unable to create big chances or shot on goal. Tottenham was dangerous on few occasions, but Conte is right when he said we entered into game little slow. Brazilian axis Emerson Royal - Lucas on right side of Tottenham then come on big stage. Good ball through by Royal to Lucas, low cross for Kane and England captain scored with very powerful kick in away corner of goal. Soon after Brazilian axis on right side showed up again as Royal ran on wing, made cross and Lucas jumped like he is flying and put ball inside the net! It was 2:0 and big advantage. Wilfred Zaha then made stupidity of highest order and pushed brutally Sanchez with yellow card and didn't leave referee any options but to show him second yellow and sent him off. First card was also well deserved for insolent foul form behind. He pretends then he doesn't know why he got card and act like innocent. Nice return by karma for what we saw in first part of season and match between those two clubs. Tottenham easily dominated second half, Kane was close to score second, but his effort went just over bar. At some point Skipp went in the middle when Lucas was on right wing, last one complained to him and complain got effect because soon after he passed to him on wing, Brazilian ace made cross for Son and Spider-man scored easily for 3:0. It should be 5 until the end, and it's not because of him. Like one Spurs fan said "Everything starts and ends with Lucas". He decided to shot from not so good position trying to score wonder goal and missed instead of let ball to Reggi who was alone like ghost left. Reggi complained on this, but Lucas just waved with hand. I didn't like this. Near the end Reggi made cross toward Sanchez who kicked and missed from inside the box, and Lucas was alone like ghost left and would score for sure if Davinson passed to him. Not a big deal 3:0 was enough. Conte gave chance to Bergwijn and Gil in second half and said one interesting thing that we have very good strikers when receiving balls and creating chances when they have space in front of them, but when we face clubs which are sitting deep we need another quality not running but ability to beat opponent on small space and that Bergwijn has that quality. He came in instead of Kane. Gil impressed me with his running, and attempts to do right things with ball. I feel there is a player in there. This game was also experiment with Tanganga as LCB instead of Davies. I think Tottenham Godfather sees Tanganga like substitute of Davies. He is trying hard to find the best place for each player. Worth mentioning is that Zaha didn't show up in this game except when getting red card. Emerson pocketed him. Wilfred looked also unfit. Palace had big problems with illnesses and covid before the game. 6 or 7 players were not ready to play. I am so happy we have so good world class coach. Tottenham will face Southampton away for two days. I hope good form and games of Conte's squad will continue. He already said it will be tough game, because they are very good squad which play with high intensity. He starts to think about them on press conference after Palace game. Let's win them lads! COYS!
