André Villas-Boas had been concerned. For the second successive summer, Tottenham Hotspur have looked to redesign their beginning XI and the move has been unsettling. There were four debutants on show here and the supervisor had protested about the absence of sleeping material in time. As an aside, there guarantees to be a couple of additional firecrackers soon after the conclusion of the exchange window.
Tottenham, however, still had excessively for a Crystal Palace group fuelled by spirit and adrenaline, and which delighted in a first Premier League manifestation since 2005. They helped wholeheartedly to a diversion that spluttered to its late finale yet there was an inescapability about the outcome.
Tottenham were in control for extensive spells and they terminated their time of year through a presentation objective from their record marking Roberto Soldado. The £26m purchase from Valencia tucked away a punishment at a young hour in the second half and, despite the fact that Palace belatedly made chances, they couldn't discover a route past Hugo Lloris.
The substitute Kevin Phillips took a substantial touch onto a ball over the top and the Tottenham goalkeeper was out to obstruct him while Damien Delaney and Kagisho Dikgacoi bored shots into Lloris' physique. Tottenham had the chances to make Villas-Boas' evening more agreeable however Gylfi Sigurdsson and the substitute Jermain Defoe blew heavenly risks. Soldado's punishment demonstrated sufficient.
Ian Holloway's beginning Palace development had been restricted, with Dwight Gayle and Stephen Dobbie tucked in from the flanks and they endeavoured to prevent Tottenham from playing through them. On a steamy evening, the home group required to mine saves of vigor; their control must be of the most elevated request. The chief, Mile Jedinak, showed others how its done and it was one of the aforementioned recreations that battled for a flash.
Tottenham came to monopolise ownership however it said much for the display that the Palace goalkeeper, Julian Speroni, was worked just once in the first half, in the 35th moment, when he pawed Sigurdsson's pot-shot over the crossbar. The main other first-half glints came when Mousa Dembélé's dipping shot from separation kissed the highest point of the crossbar and Nacer Chadli took off focus at the far post.
Tottenham made advances up the right, where the full-back Kyle Walker resembled an assistant winger yet the deciding item was laboured now and again.
Villas-Boas most likely focused on the prerequisite for understanding at half-time. Tottenham had the predominant quality. They needed to make it tell.
The achievement arrived promptly in the second period. Aaron Lennon had been baffling, plainly having the whipping of the Palace full-back Dean Moxey, yet time after time hitting the first safeguard with his cross. He completed exactly that on 49 minutes be that as it may, joyfully for him, the ball struck Moxey's trailing hand. Minutes prior, the ref, Mark Clattenburg, had decided that Jedinak's bumbling test on Paulinho was not worth a punishment yet there could be no relief for Moxey. Soldado's falter step and change was under-pined by nervelessness.
Holloway needed to compel the issue and he tossed on the mounted force with a tragic thrive, his triple substitution on 66 minutes lifting the home swarm. Phillips and the new marking Marouane Chamakh furnished crisp choices in advance while Jonny Williams demonstrated flashes of his mercury danger off the left.
Sigurdsson should have made the diversion sheltered for Spurs presently subsequently. From Walker's pass, Soldado pulled back adroitly yet Sigurdsson could just drag his low shot past the far post. Tottenham countenances reshaped, particularly that of Sigurdsson and Palace considered if they could make one better than average opportunity to squeeze something. They did however Lloris denie
