Tottenham launched a stunning second-half fightback to deny Crystal Palace a second win in two Premier League games under Oliver Glasner on Saturday, boosting their top-four hopes with a 3-1 win.
Ange Postecoglou’s men were staring at back-to-back defeats at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium when Eberechi Eze’s free-kick put Palace 1-0 up shortly before the hour mark.
However, Timo Werner’s first goal for the club kickstarted a dramatic turnaround, with Cristian Romero heading in James Maddison’s cross just three minutes later.
Captain Son Heung-min then swept home one minute from time to make the points safe, keeping the pressure on Aston Villa in the battle for Champions League football.

There was also a dramatic finish at Goodison Park, where West Ham scored twice in stoppage time to condemn Everton to a 3-1 defeat, extending their winless run to 10 Premier League games.
Everton failed to end a week which saw their 10-point deduction reduced to six on a high, despite Beto – who replaced the out-of-form Dominic Calvert-Lewin in their lineup – heading in the opener shortly after half-time, having had a first-half penalty saved by Alphonse Areola.
Kurt Zouma levelled for David Moyes’ men, though, and Tomas Soucek struck a brilliant half-volley in stoppage time to put the Hammers ahead, before Edson Alvarez’s dink took them further clear at the death.

Elsewhere, Newcastle United beat Wolves 3-0 to boost their European hopes, with Alexander Isak and Anthony Gordon taking advantage of defensive errors to put the Magpies two up by half-time.
Gary O’Neil’s side improved after the break despite withdrawing Pedro Neto, having also started without Matheus Cunha and Hwang Hee-chan. However, Tino Livramento added a late third as Eddie Howe’s men leapfrogged their opponents into eighth.
Chelsea’s own European hopes suffered a blow as they played out a 2-2 draw with struggling West London rivals Brentford, with Axel Disasi’s header salvaging a point after goals from Mads Roerslev and Yoane Wissa put the Bees 2-1 up.
