Archie Gray scored his first goal for Tottenham Hotspur to earn a 1-0 victory at Crystal Palace.
The 19-year-old’s close-range header just before half-time eased pressure on Spurs manager Thomas Frank after a difficult run.
Gray’s goal, his 60th appearance for Tottenham, made him the club’s youngest English scorer in the league since Dele Alli.
Frank praised the midfielder’s resilience after recent criticism and costly mistakes.
Tottenham had two Richarlison goals ruled out for offside but defended well under pressure.
Palace missed several chances to equalise, continuing their struggles from set pieces.
The win was Spurs’ first away league victory since early November.
It lifts them within one point of Palace and offers a morale boost heading into the new year.
