Once again, congratulations to Tottenham. Even though at the start they were quite overwhelmed by the resistance from Crystal Palace. But in the end they really won. In fact, it was quite unfortunate that Crystal Palace had OG in the second half, thus opening up Tottenham's opportunity to take the lead. Even though Crystal Palace could really make it difficult for Tottenham to penetrate their defense. In fact, they could only take one shot on target and that was Tottenham's only goal. Meanwhile, on the other hand, Crystal Palace actually had more chances to shoot. With this result, Tottenham stay in first place in the standings.
Yes, Tottenham continued their good performance today. They were unbeaten until the first 10 matches, and that was Ange Postecoglou's best achievement with Tottenham in the first half of the season. Tottenham top the standings with a 5 point lead over Manchester City and Arsenal, of course that has kept them safe without too much pressure to end this month of October in a great way.
The next match is Chelsea vs Brentford. Chelsea has a high probability of winning as favorites in their home match, but Brentford, who beat Burnley 3-0, should not be underestimated at all. Chelsea are in good form and team confidence at the moment, so they have a good chance of climbing and improving their position in the standings.
First half of the match didn't go so well for Tottenham Hotspur as Crystal Palace defender's organized themselves as they did a very good defending duty to keep Tottenham Hotspur and them attacks from harming the goal post.
It also looks like they didn't get to shoot a shot on target on Palace's goalpost. Challenging and interesting. They will now prepare to face Chelsea. A side that have struggled to win over some games.
With that performance against Arsenal, then they're ready to win these smaller clubs in the Premier League. Brentford beating Burnley means nothing. It should be a game with same number of goals amd Chelsea would win still.
