Crystal Palace 0 Tottenham Hotspur 1Archie Gray's first goal for Tottenham ensured they ended a rollercoaster 2025 with a 1-0 win at Crystal Palace to ease the pressure on Thomas Frank. Spurs fans had started to turn on Frank after a run of five defeats in eight left them 14th in the Premier League on Christmas Day. Oliver Glasner watched his weary Palace team lose a third consecutive league game to further highlight the need for January reinforcements. It appeared a matter of time before Palace broke the deadlock but Spurs struck against the run of play in the 42nd minute. Crystal Palace: Henderson, Lerma, Lacroix, Guehi, Clyne (Nketiah 58), Wharton, Hughes, Mitchell, Devenny (Esse 85), Pino (Uche 77), Mateta.
