‘Let the team down’ – Graham Roberts suggests one player ‘needs to learn’ after Spurs defeat today
Crystal Palace secured a memorable 3-0 win against Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League clash on Saturday at Selhurst Park. Former Tottenham player, Graham Roberts, has taken to Twitter to express his instant reaction after Tottenham’s defeat. It was Spurs’ first defeat of the season under their new manager Nuno Espirito Santo.

‘Worst player I’ve seen play for the club’ – Some Spurs fans tear into ‘awful player’ after defeat
Tottenham Hotspur suffered their first defeat of the season after losing 3-0 against Crystal Palace in the Premier League clash on Saturday at Selhurst Park. Odsonne Edouard, the summer signing from Celtic, scored twice while Wilfried Zaha added another to seal all three points for the home side. Nuno Espirito Santo’s side lacked creativity and energy in the first half, and the task became difficult for them after Japhet Tanganga got sent off for picking up two yellow cards. Harry Winks was withdrawn as a result, and Nuno bolstered the defence by throwing Ben Davies into the mix. However, Davies was penalised for handling the ball in the box for the first goal which Zaha converted from the spot. He also failed to properly mark Edouard, and many fans criticised him heavily on Twitter. Here ...
‘Credit where it’s due’ – Popular pundit claims one Palace player was ‘different class’ vs Spurs
Crystal Palace secured their first win of the 2021-22 Premier League season after beating London rivals Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday at Selhurst Park.

One player who particularly impressed was midfielder Conor Gallagher. The 21-year-old, who joined Palace this summer on loan from Chelsea, was simply superb during the game. He was full of energy going forward, played out quick forward passes, and created opportunities (leading to the first goal) for other players. F...
