The former West Ham United midfielder provided the assist for Tottenham's opening goal, helping Thomas Frank's side secure an important home victory and extend their recent improvement in the league.
Archie Gray and Jan Paul van Hecke scored for the hosts, while Palace were forced to play most of the contest with 10 men following Jean-Philippe Mateta's early dismissal.
Kudus creates breakthrough for Tottenham
Crystal Palace initially threatened through Daichi Kamada, who forced Tottenham goalkeeper Antonín Kinský into an early save.
However, the visitors' afternoon took a difficult turn in the 13th minute when Mateta was sent off following a VAR review for a dangerous challenge on Micky van de Ven.
Tottenham capitalised on their numerical advantage and eventually broke the deadlock in the 25th minute.
Kudus delivered a dangerous corner towards the back post, where Gray rose above the Palace defenders to head the ball into the net.
The assist continued the Ghanaian's impressive contribution since returning from injury, with his creativity and attacking movement causing problems for the visiting defence.
Tottenham went into the interval with a deserved 1-0 advantage.
Van Hecke seals victory
Tottenham continued to dominate after the restart, creating opportunities to extend their lead.
Dominic Solanke came close to scoring, but Palace goalkeeper Dean Henderson produced an important save to keep his side in the contest.
The hosts eventually found their second goal in the 73rd minute.
Mateus Fernandes delivered an excellent cross towards van Hecke, whose initial header was saved by Henderson. The defender reacted quickly to bundle the rebound into the net and make it 2-0.
Tottenham maintained their control during the closing stages, with Henderson making further saves to prevent a heavier defeat.
Kudus was substituted in the 77th minute after completing another impressive performance.
Kudus earns Man of the Match recognition
His corner delivery for Gray's opener highlighted his importance to Tottenham's attacking approach, while completing the full 90 minutes marked another positive step in his return from injury.
According to reports, Kudus has now registered three assists in five appearances since returning to action.
The performance will also encourage Ghana ahead of their upcoming international assignments, with the midfielder continuing to regain his sharpness and confidence.
Tottenham strengthen their position
The 2-0 victory gives Tottenham another important three points as they look to maintain their momentum in the Premier League.
For Crystal Palace, the early dismissal of Mateta made the task considerably more difficult, and they were unable to recover from the setback.
Tottenham will now look to build on the result in their next league assignment, while Palace must regroup ahead of their upcoming fixtures.
