Tottenham beat Crystal Palace 2-0 in the Premier League after Jean-Philippe Mateta was sent off in the 13th minute for a challenge on Micky van de Ven. Referee Michael Oliver first showed a yellow card before upgrading it to red after a VAR review. Spurs took control against 10 men and secured a third straight victory, moving into the top half of the table. Crystal Palace stayed in the game until a late second goal, but the defeat left them in the relegation zone. The result added to the scrutiny on Palace manager Pierre Sage, whose team has now lost three straight league matches.
