The Collapse Continues
The disappointing Crystal Palace 0-1 Tottenham result has officially sounded the alarm bells at Selhurst Park. Following this home defeat, the Eagles are now winless in five consecutive matches across all competitions and have suffered three straight Premier League losses. Once considered the season’s biggest dark horse for European qualification, Palace has plummeted to 9th place, with their “black horse” status rapidly fading.
Domination Without Goals
Ironically, Palace dominated the play. They controlled 62% possession and unleashed 15 shots compared to Tottenham‘s 8. However, efficiency was the difference. Jean-Philippe Mateta endured a nightmare afternoon, missing key chances and earning a low 5.7 rating.
In contrast, Spurs were clinical. Despite having two Richarlison goals ruled out for offside, the Brazilian turned provider in the 42nd minute, setting up Archie Gray for the headed winner. As analyzed by NOVA88 Sport News, this inability to convert dominance into points is becoming the story of Palace’s season.
The Glasner Exodus Begins
The on-field struggles are compounded by off-field chaos. Reports indicate that manager Oliver Glasner has refused a contract extension and will likely leave next summer. This decision has triggered a domino effect. Japanese star Daichi Kamada has made it clear: if Glasner goes, he goes.
Furthermore, the Crystal Palace 0-1 Tottenham loss highlights the grim future of the squad. Captain Marc Guéhi, who nearly joined Liverpool last summer, is entering the final months of his deal.
A Squad Being Dismantled
The club now faces a “financial and personnel” disaster. Alongside Guéhi and Kamada, key assets like Mateta, Adam Wharton, and Daniel Muñoz are being hunted by top clubs. NOVA88 Sport News warns that with European football now looking unlikely, the breakup of this exciting Crystal Palace team seems inevitable.
