A different Tottenham
This was a very different Tottenham Hotspur that took to the pitch, even from the one Ryan Mason had put out in his first two matches at the helm.
With a full week to work with the team, the 31-year-old trained them to take on board a fluid set-up to counter the tricky Crystal Palace wide men. With the system, out of possession Spurs sat in a 4-4-2 shape with Pedro Porro playing as a right winger and also creating a second line of defence in front of the returning Emerson Royal to double up on Wilfried Zaha.
