Tottenham Hotspur earned their first win since the Premier League restart with an emphatic 4-0 triumph over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park, in which Harry Kane scored twice in five second-half minutes to move within two of Jimmy Greaves on the list of Spurs’ all-time top scorers.Antonio Conte had seen his men concede first in each of their last 10 games in all competitions, so perhaps a little extra pre-match motivation helped inspire a positive start against London rivals here. However, for all of Spurs’ positive intent, very little was produced that proved taxing to Palace goalkeeper Vicente Guaita, who enjoyed a very quiet first half.Pep predicts a ‘century’ of points for the Gunners; “It’s always difficult at Stamford Bridge”His opposite number Hugo Lloris, who had been culpable in Spurs’ latest defeat to Aston Villa, went some way to making amends by producing a fine stop to deny Jordan Ayew’s powerful effort down to his right. The visitors were hanging on at times, struggling to get out of their own half whilst being unable to stem the flow of chances. Centre-back Joachim Andersen nearly raised the roof as his 30-yard rocket drifted narrowly wide, before Michael Olise saw an effort deflected wide.With the words of their manager still ringing in their areas, Tottenham recovered from a nervous restart to take the lead for the first time in 11 outings. Kane was the scorer on his 300th Premier League appearance, who rose highest to nod home from point-blank range after being found by Ivan Perišić’s expertly-placed cross.Patrick Vieira’s men had a good track record of coming from behind, rescuing 12 points from losing positions in the league this term, a total only bettered by Spurs. That task was made much more difficult though, when Tottenham’s centre-forward doubled the lead with a trademark piece of brilliance. Receiving a strong pass from Bryan Gil, Kane’s touch was exquisite to get the ball out of his feet before lashing the ball into the far corner.As Palace pushed forward, Spurs were finding oceans of space on the break and they made that pay to pull three clear. Kane did the running, initially teeing up Son Heung-min, but the Korean failed to work an angle and instead found Matt Doherty who fired into the far corner. The Korean then netted in just a second league game this term, as he raced in behind after a Kane ball to shrug off Marc Guéhi before rifling home capping off a memorable away day for Spurs.ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE – Matchday 19MondayBrentford – Liverpool 3-1 (2-0)/Konate 19 og, Wissa 42, Mbeumo 84 – Oxlade-Chamberlain 50/TuesdayLeicester – Fulham 0-1 (0-1)/Mitrovic 17/Arsenal – Newcastle 0-0Everton – Brighton 1-4 (0-1)/Gray 90+2 (p) – Mitoma 14, Ferguson 51, March 54, Gross 57/Man.Utd. – Bournemouth 3-0 (1-0)/Casemiro 23, Shaw 49, Rashford 86/WednesdaySouthampton – Nott.Forest 0-1 (0-1)/Awoniyi 27/Leeds – West Ham 2-2 (1-1)/Gnonto 27, Rodrigo 70 – Paqueta 44 pen, Scamacca 46/Aston Villa – Wolverhampton 1-1 (0-1)/Ings 78 – Podence 12/Crystal Palace – Tottenham 0-4 (0-0)/Kane 48, 54, Doherty 68, Son 73/Thursday23.00: (5.50) Chelsea (3.90) Man.City (1.70)***odds are subject to change
