Jean-Philippe Mateta goal earns Palace first win of season against Tottenham
Posted Monday, October 28, 2024 by PA
Jean-Philippe Mateta’s first-half goal dealt Tottenham a blow and lifted Crystal Palace to their first Premier League win of the season with a 1-0 victory at Selhurst Park.
Spurs head coach Ange Postecoglou, without captain Son Heung-min, handed 17-year-old Mikey Moore his first league start, and it soon became clear the hosts were going to make it more difficult for the visitors than perhaps some expected.
Mateta grabbed the game’s only goal in the 31st minute, and while Brennan Johnson struck the post in a near-instant reply, neither side were able to alter the scoreline despite a decent number of chances at Selhurst Park.
Three points at home also meant Palace swerved slumping to their worst-ever start to a Premier League season, having entered the contest without a victory in eight matches.
