Crystal Palace Complete Historic League Double Over Tottenham Hotspur with 2-0 Victory

Crystal Palace made history with a 2-0 triumph over Tottenham Hotspur at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, marking the first time they have completed a league double over Spurs. Eberechi Eze was the star of the show, netting twice either side of halftime to secure the victory for Palace. His brace brought his Premier League goal involvement tally to 15 for the season (7 goals, 8 assists), joining Wilfried Zaha and Jean-Philippe Mateta as the only Crystal Palace players to achieve 15+ goal contributions in multiple campaigns.

Palace's dominance was evident, registering 23 shots and creating an xG of 3.39, highlighting their attacking threat throughout the game. Tottenham, meanwhile, struggled to break down Oliver Glasner's well-organized side, managing only 0.68 xG in a lackluster performance. Spurs have now conceded the first goal in 11 different home matches this season—their joint-most in a single 38-game Premier League campaign, matching their 1998-99 record.

The defeat marks Tottenham's 24th loss across all competitions this season, just one short of their all-time record of 25 defeats in 1991-92. They remain winless in five league matches, sitting precariously in 17th place as they prepare for a crucial clash against Aston Villa before their Europa League final.

For Palace, the victory provides a massive confidence boost ahead of their FA Cup final showdown against Manchester City, while Tottenham's woes deepen in what has been a turbulent campaign.
