Guaita’s heroics save a point for Palace
Tottenham Hotspur's Harry Kane (10) after the Premier League match at Selhurst Park, London

Crystal Palace 1-1 Tottenham Hotspur
by Gene Sylvester
at Selhurst Park
 

SELHURST Park hosted fans for the first time in nine months yesterday, when the heroics of Palace keeper Vicente Guaita held Jose Mourinho’s men to a 1-1 draw.

The home fans fully played their part in reigniting the sorely missed Selhurst roar, and despite their impact and that of the Palace keeper overall, Guaita would have been a little disappointed with the goal that he conceded.

Kane picked up the ball 30 yards out with seemingly no immediate danger to the Palace goal, but the England star’s speculative strike caught everyone by surprise — including the keeper, who got nowhere near the ball as it nestled into the bottom corner.
