Teams : |
| 24.11.1997 | Neil Shipperley's 57th minute goal won
this Premier League match for Crystal Palace at White Hart Lane, with new manager in
waiting Christian Gross watching from the stands.
Daren Anderton went close twice in the early stages, with Kevin Miller making a number of good saves for Palace. A 52nd minute stop from Sinton was the best of the bunch and after the goal, Ginola, Iversen and Nielsen all had opportunities to score, but could not breach the packed Palace defence. Teams : |

A draw was the result of a fairly matched game, where Palace had the best of the first fifteen minutes, while Spurs dominated the rest of the first half. Wilmot was kept busy in the Palace goal, but the home side took the lead just before the break. On 42 minutes, a Young header was not properly cleared and Chris Armstrong drove a 20-yarder low into the bottom left hand corner of the net. Spurs survived Ian Cox's shot that ended up in the side-netting with ten minutes left and with two minutes left on the clock, a free-kick was given just outside the box and Jurgen Klinsmann hit the dead ball over the wall and past Wilmot for a late equaliser. Teams : |
| 14.04.1995 | Although Jurgen Klinsmann
twice tested goalkeeper Rhys Wilmot, it was Palace striker Chris
Armstrong who put the home side ahead with a 41st minute shot, after a
ball had not been cleared properly. It was Klinsmann, who had been
Tottenham's main threat, who scored the equaliser with just three
minutes remaining, when he curled a free-kick on the edge of the box
around the wall and in off the goalpost for a share of the points.
Teams : |
| 27.12.1994 | A goal-less
draw saw both teams playing their second game in consecutive days and
perhaps the performances reflected that as one Premiership point each
was all that was taken from this encounter.
A 33rd minute Sheringham shot was well tipped over the bar by Nigel Martyn, with Howells pulling a shot to bring Martyn into action again, while Anderton shot over. The best chance for Palace saw Ricky Newman go close. Teams : |

A FA Cup Fourth Round tie which was fought out in a derby atmosphere ended up as a comfortable win for Tottenham. Eagles midfielder Andy Rray had an opportunity to put his side ahead on six minutes, but, released by Finnigan and clean through on goal, he blazed over the top. Gary Mabbutt pounced on Clive Allen's stabbed effort towards goal George Wood's fumble to Hoddle's corner and gave Tottenham a 28th minute lead. Former Spurs defender Gary O'Reilly stuck in an own goal six minutes after to add to our lead, following good work from Clive Allen, Waddle and Hoddle. Tottenham had to wait until the 80th minute for Clive Allen to make it 3-0 from a penalty on 80 minutes awarded for a trip on Waddle, while substitute Nico Claesen added a fourth goal right at the end of the game.

A cracking game saw Spurs triumph over Terry Venables talented young side at Selhurst Park. Spurs ran into a two goal lead, before Vince Hilaire pulled a goal back for Palace, but Tottenham scored a third before the interval. Neil Smillie seized on some loose defending to make it 3-2 and then a bizarre incident occurred. Crooks fouled Hilaire, who stood up and hit the first person he saw, who happened to be the referee, who had not option but to send him off. Spurs made the extra man pay by taking a 4-2 lead, although the home side continued to go forward and scored a consolation goal through Jim Cannon near the end of the game. Teams : |

This Division Two derby ended up all square with Terry Venables' Palace side worth their point. Although Tottenham dominated the match, they were unable to put Palace away and even Hoddle's early goal, finishing off Lee's headed pass did not deter the visitors, who pulled the goal back through Dave Swindlehurst moments later. Hoddle netted a rare header from Peter Taylor's in-swinging free-kick, but once more Swindlehurst regained parity as the half-time break approached. In the second period, Pratt and McAllister hit the woodwork, Burns saved with his legs from Taylor, while Daines had to be on his mettle to save from Silkman to protect the point we took from the match at the end.

Spurs came through this game 2-1 despite scoring all three goals !! Martin Peters and Mike England had given Spurs a two goal lead, but with seconds remaining, Alan Gilzean chested a pass down and chipped the ball to Cyril Knowles. Knowles then did the same to Jennings to run time down, but unfortunately, the ball sailed over the keeper's head and into the net for Palace's consolation goal, which drew uncomplimentary comment from Bill Nicholson in the dressing room. Teams : |
| 24.04.1971 | Spurs had taken a 1-0 lead through Steve Perryman and the game was petering out until Mel Blyth stepped in. Believing he had heard a whistle for a free-kick against a team-mate, he was not happy and in an attempt to allow his side time to organise, he punted the ball away, only to see it drift over keeper John Jackson's head and for the referee to be running back to the centre circle indicating a second goal for Spurs !!.

Spurs strolled to a victory against Palace at Selhurst Park on a hot day after playing in midweek. Thirty minutes into the match, Spurs created a good goal with Chivers heading home Knowles' pin-point cross. However, the home side fought hard to stay in the game and it was only half way through the second half that Alan Mullery fired Spurs into a 2-0 lead. The final goal started with Ken Hancock in goal, who threw the ball out to Gilzean. It was moved on to Perryman and Peters, who passed through to Chivers, who slammed in a third goal for Tottenham.

One of the greatest nights in Palace's history ended with a 1-0 win in this FA Cup Fourth Round replay over the star-studded Tottenham side. Tottenham forced the early pace, but the chances that were created were not converted and home striker Gerry Queen scored the only goal of the match with a glancing header in the 59th minute to put Palace through to the Fifth Round. After the match, manager Bill Nicholson slammed his players and ended up dropping many of them for the following game, with Jimmy Greaves never playing for Tottenham again. Teams : |

The match at the Fourth Round stage of the FA Cup saw Palace hold Tottenham 0-0 at White Hart Lane. A heavy pitch following days of rain bogged play down and Palace settled quicker, with Jackson and John Sewell making Jennings save their efforts. At the opposite end, Gilzean drew a low save from John Jackson. A late surge by Spurs followed Morgan's effort being hacked away from in front of the goal, Greaves got a shot over the bar and Gilzean's header was kicked off the line by Sewell. Teams : |

Alan Mullery gave Spurs a great start with a headed goal from Neil Johnson's cross after just six minutes, leaving Palace reeling. 18 year old Steve Perryman added to the lead on 37 minutes with his first league goal for Spurs, having been set up by Jimmy Greaves' pass to grab the two points in this Division One match.

Second Division Crystal Palace took this First Round FA Cup tie with a 2-0 win on their own ground, although another nearby game caused a smaller than expected crowd to turn out. Defences were mostly on top in the opening exchanges, with Whitworth going close for Palace, while Spurs forced two saves from goalkeeper Alderson. However, Morgan gave Palace the lead with a header in the first half and added another after the break, being set up by Roy McCracken and Albert Harry. The latter blazed over the top shortly after and Tottenham's only riposte was a shot by Grimsdell that went close, as the game progressed as the heavy pitch cut up further. Palace finished strongly, with Hand and Hoddinott having shots and Maddison making a fine save from Whitworth near the end, to ensure there was no way back for Spurs of the First Division, especially s they finished the match with ten men after Grimsdell limped off the pitch.
