Tottenham defeated Crystal Palace 3-1 with the help of Timo Werner and Heung-min Son, securing a comeback victory over their nearby rivals.

Heung-Min Son produced a sensational performance to lead Tottenham to a remarkable comeback victory over Crystal Palace, securing a 3-1 win. After falling behind to Eberechi Eze’s exquisite free-kick, Spurs rallied in the final 13 minutes, with goals from Timo Werner and Cristian Romero, before Son sealed the deal. This crucial win narrows the gap on the top four in the Premier League to just two points.

Returning to action following a two-week hiatus, Ange Postecoglou’s side dominated the first half, controlling over 80% of possession. They had a golden opportunity to take the lead in the 18th minute when Werner was denied by Sam Johnstone. However, against the run of play, it was Palace who broke the deadlock just before the hour mark. Eze, making his return to the squad, curled a magnificent 25-yard free-kick beyond the reach of Guglielmo Vicario.

Nevertheless, Spurs turned the game on its head with two quickfire goals in the space of three minutes. First, Werner calmly finished off Brennan Johnson’s pass, showcasing his clinical instincts. Then, Romero rose above the Palace defense to head home a pinpoint cross from James Maddison, sending the Tottenham faithful into raptures.

Son, who had earlier struck the post, put the final nail in the coffin two minutes from time. Displaying his blistering pace, he left the Palace defense in his wake before calmly slotting the ball past Johnstone, securing a well-deserved victory for his team.

This thrilling comeback victory will undoubtedly boost Tottenham’s confidence as they continue their pursuit of a top-four finish in the Premier League. With Son in such electrifying form, Spurs will be hoping to maintain their momentum and secure a coveted spot in European competition next season.
