Three days after securing a place in the UEFA Europa League Final, Ange Postecoglou made eight changes to the team that started against Bodo\/Glimt in Norway - Pedro Porro, Rodrigo Bentancur and Dejan Kulusevski the only players to remain.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Kulusevski started up front but, worryingly with that UEL Final only 10 days away, was forced off through injury with only 19 minutes on the clock.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Palace had two goals disallowed after VAR checks before taking the lead just before half-time, Eze converting from Daniel Mu\u00f1oz's pass. Eze made it 2-0 three minutes into the second half from Ismaila Sarr's cutback, and that's how it stayed.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Palace started the game on the front foot, with Daniel Mu\u00f1oz instrumental down the right. His early cross nearly resulted in an own goal and he had a hand in two disallowed efforts, one for offside and another for handball. Palace were dominant as the half progressed, with Mu\u00f1oz, Lerma, and Chris Richards all going close before finally breaking through just before half-time. Mu\u00f1oz again burst down the flank and found Eberechi Eze, who coolly slotted home.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Minutes into the second half, Palace doubled their lead. Isma\u00efla Sarr\u2019s blocked shot fell kindly for Eze, who buried his second of the match. Spurs struggled to respond, with Son Heung-Min and Wilson Odobert both denied by excellent defensive efforts from Maxence Lacroix and Marc Gu\u00e9hi.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Eddie Nketiah and Daichi Kamada nearly combined for a late third, but Palace remained in control, managing possession and repelling Spurs\u2019 rare forays forward.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
