    Decent spell for Palace as they win another corner - although it's headed away.

    John Arundell: Gareth Bale has found his form just when Spurs needed it.

    like all spurs fans I want to see Alli playing and playing well, but I totally understand the desire to have moura in the starting lineup regularly; in such good form at the moment

    Spurs 1-0 Crystal Palace

    Harry Kane has assisted 12 Premier League goals for Spurs this season. Only Christian Eriksen (15 in 2016-17 and 13 in 2015-16) and Darren Anderton (14 in 1994-95) have ever provided more in a season in the competition for the club.

    Of Spurs' 43 Premier League goals this season, 34 are now scored or assisted by either Kane or Son Heung-min.

    This is a good performance from Spurs - and Gareth Bale. He skips in behind Patrick van Aanholt and whips in a cross which Sergio Reguilon volleys wide.

    Harry Kane shoots from the free-kick. It hits the wall and the ball loops into the path of Lucas Moura, who air-kicks his shot at the back post. Let-off.

    Spurs have a free-kick right on the edge of the box. Lucas Moura skips past about four defenders and Gary Cahill clips him right on the edge of the box. Cahill is booked.

    I knew I'd regret making that comment about the goal music. About 10 texts and tweets have come in saying how great Sandstorm by Darude is.

    It is quite nice to see Gareth Bale back in form again, right? I was worried his spell at Spurs - and maybe his whole career - was just petering out a few weeks ago.

    Gareth Bale has now scored in each of his last five Premier League home starts - a run going back eight years.

    Having only scored four goals in his first 16 appearances this season, he has since scored five in his last six.

    It's all about Harry Kane and Lucas Moura, poor from Luka Milivojevic taking too many touches and not quick enough to get back. Once Kane is in that position he's the one man you want he puts it in a great area and Gareth Bale has got a simple tap in. Good finish from Bale at the back post but Milivojevic has to do better there.

    They played some awful 90s disco/techno tune after that. Shame VAR can't disallow goals for goal music in empty stadiums.

    Palace make their first defensive mistake and Spurs lead. Lucas Moura catches Luka Milivojevic out and feeds Harry Kane down the left. Kane rolls the ball across the six-yard box for in-form Gareth Bale to tap in at the back post.

    I've watched all four today because of work. But think I'd have drawn the line at watching Newcastle v West Brom if I wasn't being paid to be honest.

    Tottenham will miss Tanguy Ndombele because he's the one who can usually run into pockets and make something happen so that's on Harry Winks.

    Harry Kane has done well getting into pockets of space but Son Heung-min and Lucas Moura have been quiet.
