As reported by Antara, Tottenham played aggressively from the start and Bale showed skill past Patrick van Aanholt and Eberechi Eze before sending a measured cross towards Son Heung-min, unfortunately, the South Korean attacker's heading was aimed right into the arms of goalkeeper Vicente Guaita.

Jose Mourinho's team finally opened the scoring in the 25th minute after Bale netted the ball into an unguarded goal because Guaita was already hooked to covering Kane's shooting space.

The lead was almost doubled in the 38th minute, when Bale's cross was met by Sergio Reguilon's volley, which unfortunately still narrowed the mark.

In the first minute of first-half injury time, Palace just managed to equalize when Christian Benteke jumped the highest to meet Luka Milivojevic's cross that he threw into the host's goal.

Four minutes into the second half, Bale scored his second goal to restore Tottenham's lead, again finishing Kane's pass.

Then in the 52nd minute, it was Kane's turn to break into Palace's goal with his first touch shot when receiving Matt Doherty's pass in order to increase Tottenham's lead to 3-1.

Tottenham continued to press and Reguilon again wasted an opportunity in the 58th minute which this time only hit the net outside Palace's goal.

On the other hand, Palace still looked dangerous every time they launched an attack, unfortunately, Wilfried Zaha's opportunity, which was beyond the reach of goalkeeper Hugo Lloris, actually hit the post in the 69th minute.

Seven minutes later, it was Tottenham who managed to add to the margin after Kane headed in Son's volley to complete his streak to two goals and two assists.
