Neil Shipperley's 57th minute goal won
this Premier League match for Crystal Palace at White Hart Lane, with new manager in
waiting Christian Gross watching from the stands.
Daren Anderton went close twice in the
early stages, with Kevin Miller making a number of good saves for Palace. A
52nd minute stop from Sinton was the best of the bunch and after the
goal, Ginola, Iversen and Nielsen all had opportunities to score, but
could not breach the packed Palace defence.

A draw was the result of a fairly
matched game, where Palace had the best of the first fifteen minutes, while
Spurs dominated the rest of the first half. Wilmot was kept busy
in the Palace goal, but the home side took the lead just before the
break. On 42 minutes, a Young header was not properly cleared and
Chris Armstrong drove a 20-yarder low into the bottom left hand corner
of the net.
Spurs survived Ian Cox's shot that
ended up in the side-netting with ten minutes left and with two minutes
left on the clock, a free-kick was given just outside the box and Jurgen
Klinsmann hit the dead ball over the wall and past Wilmot for a late
equaliser.

Although Jurgen Klinsmann
twice tested goalkeeper Rhys Wilmot, it was Palace striker Chris
Armstrong who put the home side ahead with a 41st minute shot, after a
ball had not been cleared properly. It was Klinsmann, who had been
Tottenham's main threat, who scored the equaliser with just three
minutes remaining, when he curled a free-kick on the edge of the box
around the wall and in off the goalpost for a share of the points.

A goal-less
draw saw both teams playing their second game in consecutive days and
perhaps the performances reflected that as one Premiership point each
was all that was taken from this encounter.
A 33rd minute
Sheringham shot was well tipped over the bar by Nigel Martyn, with
Howells pulling a shot to bring Martyn into action again, while Anderton
shot over. The best chance for Palace saw Ricky Newman go close.

A FA Cup Fourth Round tie which was
fought out in a derby atmosphere ended up as a comfortable win for
Tottenham.
Eagles midfielder Andy Rray had an
opportunity to put his side ahead on six minutes, but, released by
Finnigan and clean through on goal, he blazed over the top. Gary Mabbutt
pounced on Clive Allen's stabbed effort towards goal George Wood's
fumble to Hoddle's corner and gave Tottenham a 28th
minute lead. Former Spurs
defender Gary O'Reilly stuck in an own goal six minutes after to add to
our lead, following good work from Clive Allen, Waddle and Hoddle.
Tottenham had to wait until the 80th
minute for Clive Allen to make it 3-0 from a penalty on 80 minutes
awarded for a trip on Waddle, while substitute Nico Claesen added a fourth goal
right at the end of the game.

A cracking game saw Spurs triumph over
Terry Venables talented young side at Selhurst Park.
Spurs ran into a two goal lead, before
Vince Hilaire pulled a goal back for Palace, but Tottenham scored a
third before the interval. Neil Smillie seized on some loose
defending to make it 3-2 and then a bizarre incident occurred.
Crooks fouled Hilaire, who stood up and hit the first person he saw, who
happened to be the referee, who had not option but to send him off.
Spurs made the extra man pay by taking
a 4-2 lead, although the home side continued to go forward and scored a
consolation goal through Jim Cannon near the end of the game.

Crystal Palace - Cannon, Hilaire, Smillie.

This Division Two derby ended up all
square with Terry Venables' Palace side worth their point.
Although Tottenham dominated the
match, they were unable to put Palace away and even Hoddle's early goal,
driven home from inside the area after Lee's headed pass did not deter the visitors, who pulled
the goal back through Dave Swindlehurst
moments later. Hoddle netted a rare header from Peter Taylor's
in-swinging free-kick, but once more Swindlehurst regained parity as the
half-time break approached.
In the second period,
Pratt and McAllister hit the woodwork, Burns saved with his legs from
Taylor, while Daines had to be on his mettle to save from Silkman to
protect the point we took from the match at the end.

Spurs - Daines, Naylor, McAllister, Osgood, Hoddle, Perryman,

A pulsating match between two London
sides finished with a useful two Second Division points for Spurs.
John Duncan almost directed a ball
into the goalmouth into the net in the seventh minute, before Palace
started pushing forward. It was in the fortieth minute that
Tottenham went ahead, with Terry Naylor's cross ending in a towering
jump and Duncan's crashing header bouncing down off the bar and Ian
Moores forcing the rebound over the goal-line.
The lead didn't last long, as Rachid
Harkouk put the Eagles level two minutes after the interval getting the
ball past Daines when Kenny Samson's swerving low cross caused problems
for the Spurs defence. This did not deter Tottenham and Duncan was
on the mark in the 58th minute as he finished off a goalmouth scramble
in which Peter Taylor took a loose ball away from keeper Tony
Burns. Duncan was denied by a point blank save from Burns a little
later as Spurs kept up the pressure on the home side and held out at the
other end for the win.

Crystal Palace - Burns, Samson, Cannon (c), Harkouk.

Spurs came through this game 2-1
despite scoring all three goals !!
Martin Peters with a penalty and Mike England had
given Spurs a two goal lead, but with seconds remaining, Alan Gilzean
chested a pass down and chipped the ball to Cyril Knowles. Knowles
then did the same to Jennings to run time down, but unfortunately, the
ball sailed over the keeper's head and into the net for Palace's
consolation goal, which drew uncomplimentary comment from Bill Nicholson
in the dressing room.

Spurs - Jennings, Kinnear (Pearce 29), England, Naylor, Knowles,

Spurs had taken a 1-0
lead through Steve Perryman and the game was petering out until Mel
Blyth stepped in.
Believing he had heard a whistle for a
free-kick against a team-mate, he was not happy and in an attempt to
allow his side time to organise, he punted the ball away, only to see it
drift over keeper John Jackson's head and for the referee to be running
back to the centre circle indicating a second goal for Spurs !!.

Spurs strolled to a
victory against Palace at Selhurst Park on a hot day after playing in
midweek.
Thirty minutes into
the match, Spurs created a good goal with Chivers heading home Knowles'
pin-point cross. However, the home side fought hard to stay in the
game and it was only half way through the second half that Alan Mullery
fired Spurs into a 2-0 lead.
The final goal started
with Ken Hancock in goal, who threw the ball out to Gilzean. It
was moved on to Perryman and Peters, who passed through to Chivers, who
slammed in a third goal for Tottenham.

glancing header in the 59th minute to put Palace through to the Fifth

opposite end, Gilzean drew a low save from John Jackson.

Second Division
Crystal Palace took this First Round FA Cup tie with a 2-0 win on their
own ground, although another nearby game caused a smaller than expected
crowd to turn out.
Defences were mostly
on top in the opening exchanges, with Whitworth going close for Palace,
while Spurs forced two saves from goalkeeper Alderson. However, Morgan
gave Palace the lead with a header in the first half and added another
after the break, being set up by Roy McCracken and Albert Harry. The latter blazed over the
top shortly after and Tottenham's only riposte was a shot by Grimsdell
that went close, as the game progressed as the heavy pitch cut up
further.
Palace finished
strongly, with Hand and Hoddinott having shots and Maddison making a fine save from Whitworth near the end,
to ensure there was no way back for Spurs of the First Division,
especially s they finished the match with ten men after Grimsdell limped
off the pitch.
Teams :
Crystal Palace - Alderson, Greener, Whitworth, Hand, Hoddinott,
Harry, Morgan, McCracken.
Spurs - Maddison, Lindsay, Elkes, Grimsdell, Walden

yards to make it 2-0. The home side pulled a goal back just before
the interval when Edmunds scored and the point was gained when Smith
scored a penalty given for handball in a goalmouth melee.
