WHO'S GOING TO BE YOUR

MAN OF THE MATCH?

Lucas stars as Spurs move up to fifth

Lucas Moura scored one goal and assisted another two as Tottenham Hotspur climbed up to fifth with a 3-0 victory over 10-man Crystal Palace.

Harry Kane put Spurs in front on 32 minutes, sweeping beyond Jack Butland from Lucas's pass, to equal Robbie Fowler's Premier League record of nine goals scored on Boxing Day.

Lucas then headed in spectacularly from Emerson Royal's cross two minutes later to double the hosts' advantage.

Palace were reduced to 10 men in the 37th minute after Wilfried Zaha was shown a second yellow card for a push on Davinson Sanchez.

Son Heung-min added a third for Spurs on 74 minutes, tapping in from Lucas's cross as Antonio Conte sealed a fourth win in six matches as head coach.

Spurs are six points behind fourth-placed Arsenal with three matches in hand.

Palace drop to 12th on 20 points.
