Story summary

On October 31, 2026, Tottenham Hotspur secured a 2-0 victory over Crystal Palace in the Premier League. The match took an early turn when Crystal Palace's Jean-Philippe Mateta was sent off for a studs-up challenge on Micky van de Ven after just 13 minutes. With a numerical advantage, Tottenham capitalized with goals from Archie Gray and Jan Paul van Hecke to secure their third consecutive win. This marks the first time since almost 21 months that Spurs have won three league games in succession, following previous victories against Coventry and Chelsea. The result has increased pressure on Crystal Palace manager Pierre Sage, whose team remains mired in the relegation zone after winning only one of their first nine league games.
