Like Spurs, Palace are at their best when they can win the ball and counter with Wilfried Zaha, Eberechi Eze, and Michael Olise. For one thing, Tottenham is much more comfortable against teams that want to be on the ball. From there, Spurs would get the ball quickly to Harry Kane, Richarlison, or Heung-min Son and hope their star attackers could make something happen. A dynamic counterattacking side, Tottenham was able to sit deep, defend effectively and spring to life when their opponents turned the ball over. Or is now the right time to buy back on Tottenham?

Tottenham bounced back from a shaky start to earn a much-needed 4-0 away win over Crystal Palace on Wednesday night.

After the rest of his teammates returned to his half, Son lingered with the Spurs faithful a few moments longer, kissing the badge and showing his appreciation. As soon as the ball struck the back of the net Son exploded, in similar fashion to when he broke his previous seasonal goal drought against Leicester back in September, ripping off his protective mask and sprinting towards the travelling fans. He wriggled free of his marker several times early on and kept his mettle in the wake of a string of crunching challenges to play a decisive role after the interval.

Harry Kane's quickfire double helped Tottenham get back on track with a 4-0 victory over Crystal Palace in the Premier League.

United has a game in hand. It was not long before Son got on the scoresheet himself, beating Marc Guehi to Kane’s high ball and firing into the bottom corner via a deflection. Kane doubled his tally and Spurs’ lead when the ball fell to Bryan Gil on the right and he flicked a pass to the England captain, who took one touch and shot quickly to send a low strike into the bottom left corner.

(AE) Up in north London, calls for Antonio Conte to be fired have come from fans following recent results, leaving Tottenham with an uncertain future and Manchester City next on the fixture list (again). Tottenham (33 points – 5th place), meanwhile, will try to end their losing skid at two games and keep within touching distance of 4th-place Manchester United (39 points). (JPW) What a move this would be for a Chelsea team already loaded with attackers, just the latest sign that no one besides (probably) Kai Havertz and Mason Mount are safe in their status with Thomas Tuchel’s Blues. This time around, Lukaku scored 15 goals in 44 appearances (all competitions – 8 in 26 in the Premier League), bringing his Chelsea career total to 15 goals. His quality is clear for all to see and he would slot in well to the 3-4-2-1 system and is very comfortable on the ball and coming out of the back to start attacks. The focus at Chelsea will likely now be on selling players and they will have to move on a lot of fringe players to offset this huge spending spree. It is reported (below) that Chelsea will pay the Norwegian side $12.7 million for Fofana. As for De Jong, well, Chelsea’s priority is to sign a center back but with Jorginho and N’Golo Kante coming towards the twilight of their careers, De Jong is a very similar player and would slot in very nicely to safeguard the future of Chelsea’s midfield. 12, vs Eintracht Frankfurt) without a goal for Spurs. The victory is still only Tottenham’s second in five Premier League games since the start of November and send’s Antonio Conte’s side (33 points – 5th place) back to within two points of 4th-place Manchester United, who have played one less game.

How did Spurs go from a club heading for a crisis to recording joint-biggest London derby away win in the past three decades?

They have the best second-half record of any Premier League team, with 73 per cent of their goals coming after the break (27 of 37).

A population of more than 330 million, and yet somehow there's this tiny group of friends at the top. The last of the ties eventually happened on March 7, and the final replay on March 11; a good chunk of the fourth round had already taken place. Three gifts for the chasing pack; a lump of coal for the leaders. In the end, the final was only delayed by three weeks, which probably counts as a minor miracle. We're at the point where there really isn't much left to say about the eternal inevitability of Edin Dzeko: he was great 10 years ago, he's great now, and he will still be great in the distant future when the sun is cold and red and small in the sky. CF Intercity couldn't quite knock Barcelona out, but take them all the way to extra time, thanks to a hat trick of equalisers from Oriol Soldevila. The new manager bounce is a thing, but it's not a hard and fast rule. If actually watching Southampton play football doesn't bring much cause for optimism, then a look at the table offers a glimmer of hope. You know, if the Spurs board decided that they wanted somebody who played enterprising, attacking football, and also wanted to really irritate quite a lot of Arsenal fans. After the game, when he was asked about the difference between the two halves, Kane was keen to point to the fact that Spurs had in fact started okay. But every profession has its struggles and The Warm-Up spends a great percentage of our time caught between two contrary forces: the desire not to use anything even a little bit like a cliché, and the fact that football is often a hugely clichéd thing. Spurs were pretty poor in the first half, to the point that we started to entertain forbidden thoughts about whether Patrick Vieira might make a decent replacement for Antonio Conte.

Harry Kane lifted the gloom at Tottenham by scoring twice in a convincing 4-0 win against Crystal Palace, while Nottingham Forest hauled itself out of the.

ANTONIO CONTE revealed yesterday he is against the idea of sending his young Tottenham talent out on loan during the January transfer window.

“We have some young players we need to improve. He said: “Sometimes we want things that will take time to have. He’s so clever, so intelligent to understand the situation. We have to play Champions League, we have to play FA Cup. I think these young players can stay here to help us face these three competitions.” Boss Conte said: “Skipp and [substitute Pape] Sarr showed they are really reliable players for me and I’m really happy.
