End of match
-
94'FT: Palace 0 - 1 Tottenham - Palace were finally punished by Kane late in the second half. Spurs had dominated throughout, but they finally found the net in the 88th minute. A tough pill to swallow for Palace, who could not really have been expected to win given their injuries. They defended well, but couldn't hold on until the end.
-
90'We will have four minutes of added time. Palace, who have defended in numbers throughout, will now have to throw men forward.
-
88 'GOAL! KANE! Kane finally finds his shooting boots, and Spurs capitalise on their second half dominance. Eriksen whips a ball in and Kane is waiting at the back post. He heads in from a tight angle and Hennessey can't keep it out, despite getting his gloves to it.
-
86 'Palace make another change, as Hodgson takes off Townsend and replaces him with Chung-yong Lee.
-
84 'James Tomkins is unable to continue, and is replaced by Delaney. Meanwhile Spurs are looking more and more likely to score, as Kane glances the post.
-
83 'HOWLER! Aurier misses an absolute sitter at the far post after a beautiful cross from Ben Davies. How on earth did he miss that?!
-
82 'Some nifty play down the left from Son, who is looking bright straight away. The corner is cleared outside the box, but Kane picks it up and strikes low. The ball is scrambled on by Hennessey, Palace really holding on here.
-
79 'Heung-Min Son is coming on for Moussa Dembele, while James Tomkins receives treatment.
-
77'Townsend makes a 50-yard run down the right, but there's nobody free in the middle.
-
73'PENALTY APPEAL! Dele Alli goes down in the box after breaking away from the defenders. He believes Hennessey brought him down, but the ref isn't having it. The home fans sing a chorus of 'Dele Alli, he's diving again!'
-
72'CLOSE AGAIN! Eriksen's corner bounces about, before Davies manages to hit it with his left. Excellent save.
-
72 'Two corners in succession for Spurs.
-
69 'Eriksen puts in the worst delivery of the game, as his inswinger misses everyone and goes back out for a goal-kick. The Danish playmaker has looked poor today.
-
68'McArthur gets a talking to after tripping Alli. He has marked the Spurs midfielder very tightly today. No card.
-
65 'Lucas Moura is warming up, and jogs on to replace Erik Lamela. The Brazilian is making his league debut for his new club.
-
63 'Spurs go back down into the home side's half, but Lamela's inswinger is headed away.
-
61'PENALTY SHOUT! Sorloth breaks into the Spurs in the box as Palace make their first real attack of the half. The forward goes down and the crowd screams for a pen, but Kevin Friend waves it away. The correct call, as Aurier got the ball.
-
58'CLOSE! Spurs go close again, as Alli finds Aurier, but the right-back's shot from just outside the box is saved.
-
56'Spurs looking even more dominant in the second half. Palace are unable to get out of their own half, and are sitting very deep. Spurs have had a few half-chances, but none better than that sitter for Kane.
-
53 'HUGE MISS FROM KANE! A skillful flick across goal from Aurier lands at the feet of Kane, who is but a few yards from goal, but the striker fluffs it again and screws it wide of the far post. He could have had a brace by now,
-
50 'A patient piece of build up play sees the ball fall to Christian Eriksen, but he is unable to get over the ball and his volley goes over the bar.
-
47 'Harry Kane grabs the ball in the Palace half and attempts an audacious shot, but it sails off into the stands, to the glee of the home support.
-
47'Tottenham start on the front foot, and Davies goes outside of his man down the left, but his cross is easily cleared.
-
46'Palace kick off the second half!
-
45'HT: Palace 0 - 0 Tottenham - Spurs started off fairly strong, and have had the majority of the possession, but have lacked any cutting edge in the final third. Palace's bare-bones team has coped pretty well with Spurs' attacking players, and have had a fair few good counter attacks, but neither side looks too sharp.
Yellow card
a Tottenham Hotspur
-
45 'Dembele sees yellow for a foul on Townsend.
-
44'Another burst of pace from Townsend down the right after he is released by McArthur. He cuts inside and hits with his left, but it's a bit of a pea-roller and Lloris collects.
-
43'This game was originally designated to be played on Monday night, and it feels as if the players weren't 100% prepared for the fixture to be played today. Neither side look too sharp here.
-
37'A couple of decent attacks from Spurs down the right. Tomkins clears the first, then the visitors are unable to make anything of it after the throw in. Spurs looking a bit sloppy here.

34 'Palace earn a corner on the right as Townsend's cross bounces off Dier. Palace's second corner of the day floats into the box, but it comes to nothing.

-
27'Spurs haven't done much in the past 10 minutes. Palace are sitting in a 4-5-1 off the ball, and breaking quickly when they get the ball.
-
24'Andros Townsend has looked like Palace's most dangerous player so far. The winger has used his pace a few times down the right, but his most recent cross comes to nothing.
-
21'Townsend catches up with an overhit ball down the right wing. He runs at Dembele, but Lamela comes in strongly on the Palace player and a foul is given. Nothing comes of the free kick, however.
-
19'A long cross-field ball is drifted into the box, and Sorloth heads, but it goes straight at Lloris.

-
12'Eriksen takes an ambitious free kick, hitting the target, but Hennessey catches with ease.
