Tottenham Hotspur's struggles in the Premier League worsened after suffering a 3-1 defeat to Crystal Palace at their home stadium on Friday.

The contest dramatically shifted when Micky van de Ven was sent off in the first half, leaving Spurs a man down and allowing Palace to seize control.

Palace capitalized through goals by Ismaila Sarr, Evann Guessand, and Jørgen Strand Larsen, exacerbating Tottenham's defensive woes and securing the visitors' victory.

Following halftime, despite renewed determination, Tottenham failed to recover. The continued misfortunes have placed manager Igor Tudor under scrutiny, with the team now a mere point above the relegation zone.
