Tottenham edged Crystal Palace 1-0

It certainly wasn’t a work of art, but Tottenham fans have to be happy with Spurs’ 1-0 over Crystal Palace today. Mauricio Pochettino’s club was able to grind out a win and take all three points in their home opener.

This early in the season, it’s not just about results. Each match is a learning opportunity for their respective clubs. After all, the Premier League campaign is a marathon, not a sprint. It’s important that Tottenham learns from their troubles against the Eagles.

The good news for Spurs is that they were able to dominate match possession. The troubling fact was that their attack squandered a number of terrific offensive chances. They got away with it against Palace, but it must improve against tougher Premier League competition.

Fortunately for Pochettino and Spurs, I’m here to help make sure the club knows what they can take from the match. Read on to discover five post match lessons from Tottenham’s victory over Crystal Palace.
