Tottenham continue to cling to life in the Premier League, and have João Palhinha to thank for their first-half lead over visiting Everton.
No one would have guessed that Spurs would be in a fight for survival on the final day, but Roberto De Zerbi’s influence continues to be felt in north London as Tottenham responded to the occasion when it mattered most.
On a day when Spurs watched their bitter rivals receive a guard of honour at Selhurst Park, goalscoring heroics from Palhinha saw Tottenham Hotspur Stadium erupt.
A first shot on target for Spurs would see the veteran set a personal goalscoring record too, bagging his fifth strike of the season in the 42nd minute, reacting quickest to turn in his own rebound after his initial header clanged off Jordan Pickford’s near post.
As things stand, one of the nation’s biggest clubs remains safe from dropping down to the Championship.
