Tottenham Hotspurs have kept a clean sheet in 5 of their last 8 league matches. In addition, they are among the top scoring teams in the division – with 69 goals in 33 games. On the other hand, Tottenham’s schedule is much more difficult than Chelsea’s. The Spurs will play Arsenal, West Ham United, Manchester United, Leicester City and Hull City. However, if the Mauricio Pochettino’s players keep going like that they can fight for the title until the very last round of the competition.
The match wasn’t full of goal-scoring chances. The shots on target were just 5 – 1 for Crystal Palace and 4 for Tottenham Hotspur. The best chances for goal came after shots from a long distance. Dele Alli’s shot in the 53rd minute went wide, but that moment was crucial, because Mamadou Sakho received an injury and was substituted. Then, Alli missed another good chance after a perfect cross by Kyle Walker.
Christian Eriksen became the hero for The Spurs again. The Danish player scored a magnificent goal from a long distance after a pass by Harry Kane. Eriksen found the net in the 78th minute, so Palace had a very little time to react.
With the victory, Tottenham kept their chance for the title alive! 4 points down from Chelsea and with better goal difference, The Spurs must keep on going and wait The Blues to make 2 mistakes until the end of the campaign.
