Tottenham beat Crystal Palace 2–0 after Archie Gray opened the scoring in the 25th minute and Jan Paul van Hecke added the second after 73 minutes. The winners protected their first-half lead before extending it in the latter part of the second period.
The gap remained narrow between those goals. Gray’s opener did not make the outcome mathematically secure, while Van Hecke’s finish increased the task facing Palace if they were to recover. Tottenham also completed the game without conceding, combining a wider margin with a clean sheet.
