Report: Palace defeated late on at Tottenham – News
After the England international won a free kick 25 meters from goal with a slalom run towards the counter, controlled by Rodrigo Bentancur, Eze rose and launched a diving free kick towards the top corner, on the goalkeeper's side .
Eze and his Palace team-mates celebrated wildly, but sadly it ushered in a period of Tottenham dominance, roared by the home crowd.
After Werner's shot was saved by Johnstone at the near post and Son's low shot went just wide, the home team finally equalized in the 77th minute.
Appearing to win the ball at a dead end, substitute Brennan Johnson beat two players and faced Werner, who simply could not miss inside the six-yard box.
Tottenham's comeback was completed just three minutes later when James Maddison pushed a quick throw-in into the area, allowing Cristian Romero to head home and give his team the lead.
And with two minutes left on the clock, a cruel break of the ball for Palace allowed Son to jump cleanly towards goal and send Johnstone the wrong way, finding the bottom corner to continue the Eagles' difficult run of results in Chelsea territory. Tottenham.
