Archie Gray ended a long wait for his first Tottenham goal. His 60th appearance for the club was the decisive moment in a 1-0 win against Crystal Palace.
The 19-year-old midfielder joined Spurs from Leeds in 2024. His scrappy first-half header secured three vital points for his team.
The victory eases pressure on manager Thomas Frank. Tottenham had won only one of their previous eight Premier League matches before this game.
The result lifts Tottenham to within one point of Palace in the league table. It provides a positive end to what has been a turbulent year for the club.
