Mohammed Kudus delivered an impressive performance on his return to a full 90 minutes following injury, helping Tottenham Hotspur secure a 2-0 win over Crystal Palace and claim his first Man of the Match award since returning.

The Ghanaian winger caused problems for Palace throughout the contest, using his speed and close control to create openings.

His contribution included five successful dribbles, four fouls won and three chances created as Tottenham made it three consecutive victories.

Palace's task became more difficult in the 13th minute when Jean-Philippe Mateta received a red card for a serious challenge on Mickey van de Ven.

Tottenham took advantage of their numerical superiority, with Archie Gray heading home a corner from Kudus in the 25th minute to give the hosts the lead.

Spurs created several opportunities to extend their advantage but had to wait until the 73rd minute to find their second goal. Jan Paul van Hecke headed home after the ball rebounded off the crossbar, sealing a 2-0 victory for Tottenham.
