Eberechi Eze’s double powered Crystal Palace to a comfortable 2-0 derby win over Tottenham Hotspur, boosting their FA Cup final preparations and equalling their record Premier League points tally.
Eze struck just before and after half-time, securing a deserved victory for Oliver Glasner’s side.
A much-changed Tottenham struggled throughout, falling to their 20th league defeat of the season and languishing in 17th place.
Palace had earlier seen two goals disallowed but Eze’s clinical finishes ensured the points.
The win marks Palace’s first league double over Spurs and provides momentum before their FA Cup final against Manchester City.
Meanwhile, Tottenham, who lost Dejan Kulusevski to injury, face Aston Villa next as they seek to build momentum before their Europa League final.
