Five Things We Learned: Tottenham vs Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace fell to their second defeat of the season after Victor Wanyama headed in the winner for Tottenham at White Hart Lane.

After the disappointment of the opening day loss to West Brom, Alan Pardew’s side were looking to bounce back, especially with the added excitement surrounding the arrival of Christian Benteke.

The Eagles struggled to keep hold of the ball in the first half but the introduction of Yohan Cabaye after the break led to the South London side posing a much greater threat.

Cabaye himself had a great opportunity to open the scoring for the Eagles but hit his shot high and wide from close range.

As the game drew on, it looked as though Palace would nick a point despite being the weaker side but Wanyama reacted the quickest to Kane’s header to score.

So after two games Palace are still yet to pick up a point and continue their miserable league form in the year of 2016.

Here’s five things we learnt from the match.
