Premier League 2025-26: Gray’s first senior goal earns Tottenham a gritty 1-0 win at Palace

Archie Gray’s first goal gave Tottenham Hotspur a crucial 1-0 Premier League victory at Crystal Palace on Sunday, ending Tottenham’s poor away performance and easing the pressure on their manager, Thomas Frank.

Tottenham took the lead against regulation when Richarlison tapped in Pedro Porro’s inviting cross, but the goal was disallowed for offside.

AS IT HAPPENED: CRY VS TO HIGHLIGHTS

Gray gave the visitor the lead shortly before half-time, nodding home from three yards after Tottenham kept a Porro corner alive. Palace pushed for an equalizer but Tottenham, who had lost four of their last five away games in all competitions, climbed to 11th in the table with 25 points from 18 games.

Palace are ninth with 26 points.
