Harry Kane’s 35th goal of the season ensured that Tottenham Hotspur kept their unbeaten start to 2018 intact courtesy of a hard-fought 1-0 victory away against Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Sunday.
It had looked like the Eagles would earn a vital point to bolster their bid to avoid relegation after an industrious game at Selhurst Park, but Kane headed home in the 89th minute to break Palace hearts and earn Spurs a third consecutive league win at Palace for the first time in the club’s history.
Spurs are now unbeaten in 15 games across all competitions, representing their best run in 19 years.
Roy Hodgson’s charges now face the unenviable task of taking on both Manchester United and Chelsea in the coming weeks with a squad still ravaged by injuries.
As for Spurs, Pochettino’s men will turn their attentions to an FA Cup fifth-round replay with Rochdale at Wembley in the week.
