Crystal Palace 1-3 Tottenham Hotspur: Alli wonder goal adds to Pardew’s London Derby blunders

Crystal Palace snapped its scoreless streak but not its losing skid, as Alan Pardew‘s derby woes continued with a 3-1 loss to Spurs at Selhurst Park on Saturday.

Palace is 1-5 against London foes this season, and the Eagles have sunk to 11th in the Premier League. A Jan Vertonghen own goal did snap their 482-minute run without a PL goal.

Sometimes you just need a bit of luck, and Palace got it to snap the streak. Jan Vertonghen deflected a shot into his own goal to make it 1-0.

Spurs looked a good bet for a goal all day, and Kane cashed in when his towering header of a Chadli chipped cross made it level in the 64th minute.

Alli took Spurs ahead in the 84th minute, juggling around defenders before turning to last a half-volley home. It was a stunning goal, gorgeous at every touch, and Tottenham was deservedly ahead.

Chadli added a stoppage time goal from outside the 18 to put a bow on all three points.
