Spurs come from behind to beat Crystal Palace 3-1

Over the last few games in the EPL, Tottenham Hotspurs have begun games sluggishly and invariably had to chase the game to get a result.
Today was no different as they had to grind out a result against a beleaguered Crystal Palace, who are at the wrong end of the table.
Tottenham were 1-0 down at halftime from a beautiful free kick from Eze and had it all to do in the second half.
Perhaps the two-week break had them getting out of the blocks slow and they will need to begin games with more vim and vigour.
Playing a 4-3-3 formation, Tottenham left it late to turn it on but managed to score three goals in 11 minutes, (77th, 80th and 88th minute) with Cristian Romero heading the winner in the 88th minute.
It may very prove to be a battle for fourth place with a resurgent Aston Villa pushing Spurs. They square off against each other next week.
For years, Spurs relied on Harry Kane to get the lion’s share of goals but this season, with him gone to Bayern Munich, the front line has stepped up and is chipping in with the goals.
Son Heung-min again got on the score sheet and is having a far better season than he had last year. He has already scored 13 goals and is on course to get in excess of 20 under his new manager Ange Postegoglou.
