Are De Zerbi's Spurs finding elusive consistency?
Are Spurs finally finding elusive consistency under Roberto de Zerbi after a third successive Premier League win, asks chief football writer Phil McNulty?
Tottenham Hotspur's long wait for three consecutive Premier League wins is finally over, after almost 21 months. The team triumphed over Crystal Palace in a match marred by Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta's early red card. Archie Gray and Jan Paul van Hecke were the scorers, adding to the club's recent winning streak.
This sequence of victories marks the first time Tottenham has secured back-to-back home wins in the league for two years. Head coach Roberto de Zerbi emphasized the team's focus and concentration during the match, and praised the performances of their new signings, Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes. Despite the win, the club remains in the relegation zone, with only two wins from nine league games.
De Zerbi urged patience for his new acquisitions, but also expressed ambition and a desire to improve the team's performance.
