It’s quite simple, Tottenham is assured of being leader of the Premier League at the end of this 10th day of the English Championship. While away to their neighbor Crystal Palace, Spurs struggled, but won on the pitch at Selhurst Park Stadium. Shortly after the break, Ward was unlucky and deflected a good recovery from Maddison into his own goals for Tottenham’s opener (1-0, 53rd).

And a few minutes later, following a superb collective action, Son was able to finish and make the break (2-0, 66th), for his 8th goal of the season with the Spurs. The reduction in Ayew’s score changed nothing (2-1, 90th+4). Ange Postecoglou’s men are walking on water and remain at the top of the Premier League with five points ahead of Manchester City and Arsenal, who will play this weekend. What’s next for the Spurs? A high-tension derby against Chelsea.
