Crystal Palace were defeated on Saturday during Oliver Glasner’s second game in charge, but one moment from his side was special.
Ultimately despite heading into the game knowing taking points away would be a tough task, Crystal Palace were likely disappointed to have been beaten in the end against Spurs.
The scoreline finished 3-1 to Tottenham, but they scored goals through Oliver Glasner‘s side creating their own problems.
Joachim Andersen was the culprit for the first and third of Spurs’ strikes, with all three goals coming in the last 15 minutes of the 90 which has been a frequent problem this season.
Before this, Palace looked well placed to take something from the game, denying Spurs any real joy in an attacking sense.
But the crowning moment was a sublime free-kick goal from the returning Eberechi Eze and now Spurs’ captain has been reacting to that moment.

In the game – from an attacking sense – Palace had one standout moment and it game from the magical boot of Eze.
Beating the in-from Spurs keeper from that kind of distance is a feat to be marvelled at and that’s exactly how Heung-min Son has reacted.
“You can’t control the free-kick, it was a fantastic free-kick goal,” Son admitted while speaking with Stadium Astro.
This was quite a goal from Eze and demonstrated exactly how vital he is to Glasner from now until the end of the season. However after this season, Eze’s future is unclear with Man City his likliest destination, but Spurs also hold an interest.
Spurs will be wowed by Eze goal for Crystal Palace
Palace were under pressure for so long during this game that it’s almost more impressive that on one of his only real chances to impact the game, Eze pulled that out of his hat.
The 25-year-old attacker is a frequent producer of unbelievable feats on the pitch for Palace and Glasner will be desperate to keep him fit going forward.
But in what could be quite a concerning moment for Palace, Eze was spotted post game in discussion with Son and his Spurs teammates, laughing and joking with could be a hint at where Eze would like to move this summer.
With an exit this summer likely, more of these impressive moments will only build on the £50m valuation that Chris Wilder suggested earlier this year.
