In the 29th round of the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur hosted Crystal Palace, but the match ended disappointingly for the fans. Spurs seemed to have a good start, but in the following minutes, control was lost, and the team lost 1:3.
The score was opened in the 34th minute. The hosts' striker, Dominic Solanke, put his team ahead and instantly set the stadium on fire. But this advantage did not last long. In the 40th minute, Ismaila Sarr scored from a penalty, equalizing the score and radically changing the situation in the game.
The heaviest shots came in added time of the first half. First, in the 45+1st minute, Jørgen Strand Larsen scored, putting the Eagles ahead. They didn't stop there: in the 45+7th minute, Sarr scored once again and brought the score to 1:3. That is, "Tottenham" put the game in a difficult situation "with their own hands" in one half.
There's another decisive factor here: van de Ven was sent off in the 38th minute. After the number of hosts decreased, it was noticeable that both the defensive order and psychological pressure tolerance were broken. Crystal Palace capitalized on this opportunity and decided the game in the first half.
