Timo Werner (27) scored his first goal since joining Tottenham Hotspur. He wanted to celebrate, but he turned around quickly.

Tottenham Hotspur defeated Crystal Palace 3-1 in the 27th round of the 2023-24 Premier League (PL) at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England, at 0 a.m. on the 3rd (Korea time). With this, Tottenham was in fifth place with 15 wins, 5 draws and 6 losses (50 points) in 26 games.

Tottenham, which had been in the lead throughout the game, rather allowed a run. In the 12th minute of the second half, he gave up a free kick in front of the penalty arc, and Eberechi Eze, the kicker, finished with a kick towards the corner of the goal.

Manager Enze Postecoglou then put in control of the attack, including Brennan Johnson. However, as he became frustrated, it did not seem easy to penetrate Palace's solid defense line. Werner then stepped up as a troubleshooter. At the 32nd minute of the second half, Johnson advanced into the penalty box after overcoming a contest with Joachim Andersen on the right side. He soon hit a grounder cross, and Werner shook the net with a calm shot.

Werner clenched his fist as he ran towards the corner flag, but ran back to the half-line without further ceremony. "Captain" Son Heung-min was returning with the ball, and the rest of the players were also. Usually, there are many occasions when a 1-1 score comes to a ceremony, but Tottenham players were not complacent because they only wanted to win.

Werner said in an interview after the game, "I wanted to celebrate, but I saw no one coming. It was still 1-1 and I thought I had to score one more goal."

It was Tottenham in the atmosphere, and it immediately turned the tables. In the 35th minute of the second half, Emerson Royal threw a throw-in and James Maddison floated it up to the door. Christian Romero scored through a header shot. He even hit the wedge. In the 43rd minute of the second half, Johnson's leg from the half-line side was passed to Son Heung-min. Son Heung-min began to run at a high speed and scored a shot from the penalty arc toward the bottom right. So it ended with a 3-1 victory.  토토사이트 순위
