Match Report
Spurs were slow starters in the game but got off the mark with around half an hour gone as Harry Kane dispatched from close range after Lucas Moura's squared pass, and minutes later they were two goals to the good as the Brazilian got on the scoresheet by nodding in Emerson Royal's cross.
It went from bad to worse for Palace, who had a failed attempt to have get game postponed due to a Covid outbreak, as Wilfried Zaha was shown a second yellow card for lashing out at Davinson Sanchez just before the half time interval.
And Son Heung-min got in on the act in the second half as he poked in from yet another Moura assist to make it a comfortable afternoon for Conte's outfit, who exacted revenge on Palace after they had beaten them by the same score earlier in the season.
