Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent, as reigning champions Manchester City look to make it an unprecedented five titles in a row come the end of 2024/25.
The hosts had made a disappointing start to the new campaign and Oliver Glasner was coming under some pressure, despite last year’s excellent form to end the season. But this result will go some way to easing those concerns, as Palace beat Spurs 1-0 thanks to Jean-Philippe Mateta’s strike, buried from the left side of the six-yard box after Eberechi Eze’s brilliant flick.
For Spurs it’s a missed opportunity to keep a recent consistent run going and move up into the top six, leaving Ange Postecoglou needing to answer more uncomfortable questions about his side’s inability to string results together. Follow all the reaction below.

GOAAAAAALLLLL!!! PALACE LEAD THROUGH MATETA! Micky van de Ven loses the ball to Munoz, who picks out Eze, who outrageously finds the Frenchman free in the box to smash home into the back of the net. 1-0!

CHANCE! The hosts almost score again through Sarr! The former Watford forward strikes on goal and takes a wicked deflection but Vicario does well to save the shot.
