Glasner had a worse start to his first full season. That turned out alright.

Tottenham 2-0 Crystal Palace
Jobi McAnuff
Former Crystal Palace winger on BBC Radio 5 LiveI would like to think Crystal Palace fans and the hierarchy give Sage a bit of slack. Incredible play by Luca Williams-Barnett, dribbling and taking players on. Crosses the ball across the six-yard box and Mohammed Kudus has to score. He is two yards out.
GREAT SAVE!published at 90+2 mins
Tottenham 2-0 Crystal Palace
We're into three minutes of added time as Dean Henderson pulls off another top save.
This time it's Dejan Kulusevski trying to pick out the top bins.

How good is that from Luca Williams-Barnett?
The 18-year-old skins his man before teeing it up for Mohammed Kudus but he sticks it wide.
Should score.
SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 89 mins
Tottenham 2-0 Crystal Palace
Mathys Tel's night is over and here comes youngster Luca Williams-Barnett.
For Palace, Adam Wharton and Daichi Kamada are replaced by Jefferson Lerma and Will Hughes.

Give Sage time. I think it will take a bit longer for him to implement his style and maybe like De Zerbi is for Spurs now, Sage could turn the season around. Sacking managers in today’s game is too frequent.

DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 85 mins
Tottenham 2-0 Crystal Palace
Mohammed Kudus has the ball in the net for Spurs' third but the flag is quickly raised for offside.
Turns out he's about two yards off.

Image source, Getty ImagesSandro Tonali has been good. That relationship with Mateus Fernandes seems to be growing. Of course, today in different circumstances against one less player, but it hasn't all been easy. That is one sign of improvement under Roberto de Zerbi in recent weeks.

We're finally into the final 10 minutes of this one. I feel like it's been going on all day this game.
That's what a day full of football does to you.
GREAT SAVE!published at 82 mins
Tottenham 2-0 Crystal Palace
The ball drops to Conor Gallagher in the box, he takes it under control and drills one towards the corner but Dean Henderson pulls off a top save.
Postpublished at 80 mins

Palace are on course for their sixth defeat in nine games this season.
Is Pierre Sage the right man to lead them forward? Thoughts, Palace fans?

Barring a miracle from Palace, Spurs are on their way to a third win on the bounce and are up to eighth in the Premier League table.
'Brilliant reaction from Van Hecke'published at 19:03 GMT 31 October
Tottenham 2-0 Crystal Palace
Jobi McAnuff
Former Crystal Palace winger on BBC Radio 5 LiveA fantastic delivery from Fernandes. Jan Paul van Hecke is the one who wants to get the contact on the ball. It comes back out and hits Van Hecke again. It was a brilliant reaction from Van Hecke.
GOAL - Tottenham 2-0 Crystal Palacepublished at 19:01 GMT 31 October
Jan Paul van Hecke (73 mins)
Image source, Getty ImagesGame = over.
Spurs' long wait for a second goal is over and it's defender Jan Paul van Hecke who throws himself at Mateus Fernandes' stunning ball in.
Dean Henderson makes the save onto the bar but Van Hecke heads it over the line while sitting on the grass.

Omar Marmoush plays in behind the Palace defence for Andy Robertson but his touch is a little heavy and Dean Henderson saves.
