Okay, Igor Tudor is doing his utmost to save another club in the final phase of the season. The Croatian coach has previously had success as a substitute, less success when he has to lead a club over 1-2 seasons. However, there were plenty of critical voices, as Tottenham chose a manager with no Premier League experience to prevent relegation. From the “100 percent guarantee that Tottenham will not be relegated” statement, Tudor has now led Spurs to one poor point above relegation.
Tottenham supporters cheered when Dominic Solanke scored 1-0 after 34 minutes, put their hearts in their throats when Mickey van de Ven received a red card four minutes later and wanted to leave his home stadium for half-time. Because before the referee could blow for halftime, it was 1-3 on the scoreboard, one of the goals by our own Jørgen Strand Larsen.

Crystal Palace controlled to victory and three points, Tottenham moved inexorably closer to relegation, now one poor point above the line.
Igor Tudor is trying to give Spurs fans hope.
“It was two different games. After the red card, there was another match. In the second half we tried and I saw some interesting things, but I’m very disappointed, as are the fans,” Tudor tells TNT Sports.
“We have to work hard and believe in it. After this game, I actually believe in it more than before. I know, it sounds strange, but I saw something in the team. Even in the dressing room after the game. When we get full strength and choose the right players, I think it will be good,” the Spurs coach concludes.
