For Doucoure I can see it

Good question. Perhaps Devenny

Crystal Palace’s Cheick Doucoure plays first match after 14-month layoff with knee injury The 26-year-old tore his meniscus in January 2025, having played just 13 times since recovering from a ruptured achilles in November 2023.

Check Doucoure came through 45 minutes with Palace's Under-21 side today apparently unscathed.

Spent 14 months out with a knee injury but made it to half time without any issues, being replaced in a planned substitution

Possibly in matchday squad post international break #CPFC

Newcastle cutting the discount for a disabled season ticket holder from 50% to 25% is appalling

Crystal Palace have some momentum again Victory at Spurs provided a glimpse of the sense of freedom and togetherness seen last season

An excellent victory and performance from Palace last night

As Oliver Glasner said, they have found their spirit in recent weeks

That unity was missing but its return has been telling #CPFC

Full-time: Tottenham 1-3 Palace. A crazy game but Palace produced some real moments of quality to win it after the injustice of the disallowed goal #CPFC

Only five minutes added on which seems very short to me given the subs and the time Andy Madley took to get his earpiece/mic sorted

Chadi Riad looks like he's grabbing his hamstring(?) quite often but it could just be that he's knackered

Christantus Uche is going to come on, almost certainly for Jorgen Strand Larsen. Will Hughes also getting ready #CPFC

Warm applause from the Tottenham supporters as Johnson comes on for Evann Guessand.

"Brennan Johnson, he left 'cause you're shit" sing the Palace fans #CPFC

Nathaniel Clyne didn't come a million miles away from a goal a few minutes ago and Palace fans sang "If Clyney scores, we're on the pitch" #CPFC

Half-time: Tottenham 1-3 Palace

An astonishing opening 45 minutes of football and Palace are comfortably ahead having conceded first.

Guessand, Strand Larsen and Sarr all outstanding. Wharton's two assists perfect as well. #CPFC

GOAL! An absolutely beautiful ball by Adam Wharton for Sarr to run onto and he pokes it in.

Tottenham 1-3 Palace #CPFC

What a crazy crazy game. Entertaining

Lovely ball in from Wharton, Strand Larsen puts it through Vicario's legs. Guessand had won the ball from Sarr and then gave it to Wharton #CPFC

Strand Larsen excellent for both the disallowed goal and the penalty #CPFC

Goal! Ismaila Sarr scores the penalty. Tottenham 1-1 Palace. #CPFC

This is very similar to the penalty given away by Maxence Lacroix against Manchester United for Palace. Van de Ven is holding Sarr who then goes down. #CPFC

Penalty to Palace! Sarr brought down by Van de Ven who is sent off. We'll have another VAR check here obviously #CPFC

Goal is ruled out for offside #CPFC

Strand Larsen holds it up, plays in Guessand down the right, then he plays it across to Sarr. He drives forward, Porro tries to block his shot but it loops up and into the goal. #CPFC

Ismaila Sarr scores for Palace! VAR will check a tight offside call but for now the goal stands #CPFC

05.03.2026 20:30 πŸ‘ 5 πŸ” 3 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

Referee Andy Madley gets in the way of Daichi Kamada who would have had a great opportunity to play in Evann Guessand. Palace given a free-kick of sorts but very unfortunate #CPFC

Daniel Munoz is going to have to go off with an arm/shoulder injury caused by a late Souza challenge #CPFC

Brennan Johnson, 648 minutes for Crystal Palace and no goals – why is he struggling? The forward, signed from Spurs in January, has struggled to settle - what's gone wrong?

Brennan Johnson only on the bench for Palace against his former side Tottenham tonight

Has struggled to make an impact since joining in January and Evann Guessand has offered something different so not a huge surprise #CPFC
