The Tottenham Hotspurs are still not running out of steam in the English Premier League. This time Spurs won at Crystal Palace with a goal from Heung-min Son.
The north Londoners struggled to win 2-1 (0-0) in the capital city duel at Crystal Palace on Friday evening (October 27, 2023) at the start of the 10th matchday. This means that the Spurs are now temporarily five points ahead of their pursuers Manchester City and Arsenal FC with 26 points.
Son with his eighth goal of the season
An own goal from Joel Ward (53rd) and captain Heung-min Son’s eighth goal of the season decided the hard-fought game for Tottenham. Jordan Ayew’s goal (90+4) came too late despite a total of 13 minutes of stoppage time. New coach Ange Postecoglou’s record start continues. Never before has a coach scored so many points after ten games in his first Premier League season.
Arsenal can follow suit in their home game against newly promoted and bottom-placed Sheffield United on Saturday. City will face record champions Manchester United in the city derby on Sunday.
Applause for the late Bobby Charlton
Before the game at Selhurst Park there was applause for the late English legend Bobby Charlton. Charlton will also be considered before the remaining games on the day. The league would like to honor his “contribution to the game” and “the life of a true football great”. In addition, all players and referees wear black armbands as a “sign of respect”.
