Thanks for your company - night.

A decent start for Spurs in their new home; they go third, a point ahead of Arsenal, a point ahead of Chelsea, and three points ahead of Manchester United. Palace stay 13th.

Full-time: Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 Crystal Palace
90+4'

Eriksen swings a glorious pass crossfield, into Moura's pass, and his first touch is a joy, setting up a shot ... that he batters at Guaita, who makes a decent save nonetheless.
90+3'
The "battle for the top four" is exceedingly tight now. None of the sides can really be trusted to put together a run, but Spurs are best set.
90+2'
Chelsea have beaten Brighton 3-0, and with Loftus-Cheek and Hudson-Odoi starring. They might be onto something there - Sarri is a genius.
90+2'
The first goalscorer at the new Spurs ground, a title he'll have forever, is replaced by Wanyama.
90'
There'll be three added minutes. Man City have gone back to the top of the league after beating Cardiff 2-0. I daresay Neil Warnock will be happy with that.
89'
Townsend curls a decent-looking cross towards Benteke, but Lloris is paying attention and claims.

Palace have woken up! Zaha dribbles into the box, is robbed by Tripper, robs Tripper, and smacks a low shot that Lloris beats away.
86'
The corner's cleared to Townsend on the edge, and he slides a pass for Milivojevic, who swivels into it beautifully and pings a cross into the middle; Benteke makes good contact but can only head wide.
85'

Van Aanholt takes up possession and Townsend sprints outside him. But he sees Zaha at the back post, tries to find him and instead shanks it badly, forcing Lloris to palm behind.
85'
Spurs knock it about as the fans enjoy the moment, the abomination of two years at Wembley forgotten in an evening.
84'
So Spurs are going to go third, above Arsenal again.

GOAL! Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 Crystal Palace (Eriksen) Again, Palace give it away in midfield and again Kane burns down the inside-left channel, zoning into the box and running at McArthur who disappears out for a bag of chips when a feint inside is followed by a movement outside. In the palaver, Kane loses the ball and wants a penalty, but Eriksen quickly smacks home from close range.

Change for Palace: Townsend replaces Kouyate.
79'
Zaha sends a diag from outside the box towards the line, looking for McArthur, in behind Daives. The ball appears to brush his hair, but the ref reckons it's a goalkick.
78'
Son runs at Wan-Bissaka, who is too fast and extendable for him, sliding the ball behind for a corner which comes to nothing.
