Jean-Philippe Mateta's goal in the first half secured Crystal Palace's inaugural Premier League victory of the season, narrowly defeating a lackluster Tottenham side.
After being brought back into the starting lineup, Mateta capitalized on a mistake by Spurs defender Micky van de Ven, who was easily dispossessed in his own half.
Following a chaotic moment in the penalty area, Mateta struck his second goal of the season with power.
Ange Postecoglou's team reacted positively after going behind, with Van de Ven's shot from a corner deflecting off teammate Brennan Johnson's thigh and hitting the post.
