Mon 14 December 2020, 11:00|Tottenham Hotspur
We maintained our place at the top of the Premier League after picking up a point against Crystal Palace in a 1-1 draw at Selhurst Park on Sunday afternoon.
In an almost identical pattern of events to those of the last meeting between the sides on the final day of the 2019/20 season, Harry Kane once again opened the scoring for us in the first half in SE25 before Jeffery Schlupp was back on the scoresheet as he again provided the Eagles an equaliser in the second period.
Here’s a look at the key statistics and numbers behind the game...
Selhurst signs
11 - We have now gone 11 Premier League games without defeat against Crystal Palace.

3 - We have lost just three times in 23 Premier League meetings with Palace since the competition’s inception in 1992.
6 - 20 of our last 26 goals against Crystal Palace have come in the second half. However, each of our last six goals against the Eagles have come in the first half.
5 - Harry Kane has now scored five goals at Selhurst Park in the Premier League - no visiting player has scored more against Palace in SE25 in the competition.

Undefeated on the road
