Spurs vs Crystal Palace LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction as Timo Werner sparks late comeback win
Follow all the action from Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
Tottenham host Crystal Palace in the Premier League in a bid to close the gap between themselves and the top four. Spurs go into the match in fifth place, five points behind Aston Villa in fourth, while Crystal Palace have climbed the table since their win over Burnley and look more comfortable in 13th place, four behind Fulham.
Spurs were handed a boost with the return of Destiny Udogie, but were struck with the news that Richarlison faced three to four weeks on the sidelines with a knee injury.
Crystal Palace manager made one change from his first game in charge - a win over Burnley. The new manager has Eberechi Eze fit for the first time since January, with Odsonne Edouard dropping to the bench.

OVER!!! Werner latches onto Maddison's throughball down the left and scoops it back from the byline. The cross is helped on by Son towards Johnson in the middle, but the substitute volleys over the bar from right in front!

SAVED!!! A glorious stop to keep Palace in front!! Kulusevski's cut-back from the right is swept across by Son into the path of Werner, but the striker's goalbound first-time shot is clawed out of the top corner and behind by Johnstone!

Eze's sixth goal of the season, on his return from over a month out injured, gives the Eagles a 1-0 lead, and Palace have gone on to win three, lose and draw one apiece of the five away games they've scored first in so far this season.

OFF THE UPRIGHT!!! Spurs go within inches again!! Emerson dispossesses Mitchell and feeds Kulusevski ahead of him. He squares for Son on the edge of the area, but the forward's first-time shot cannons back off the near post with Johnstone beaten all ends up!

BLOCKED!!! From a Spurs corner, the near-post flick-on falls to Son, who turns away from Lerma and shoots from a tight angle, only for the Colombian to recover and make a timely block!
