Crystal Palace 1 Tottenham 3: Alli scores wondergoal in comeback win

Dele Alli scored a late wondergoal as Tottenham recorded a dramatic 3-1 victory at Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Saturday.

The hosts had taken the lead through a Jan Vertonghen own goal to breach an opponents' backline  for the first time in six Premier League games, but they could not hold on to earn what would have been a first win since December 19.

But it was Palace who opened the scoring on 30 minutes, ending their drought. An initial attacking move had broken down but Vertonghen's heavy pass was mis-controlled by Christian Eriksen, allowing Wilfried Zaha space on the right.

The winger fired across goal and Vertonghen's attempted interception saw him divert the ball past Hugo Lloris.

Eriksen's cross picked out Rose, whose powerful volley at the far post was excellently held by Hennessey as Palace went into half-time ahead.

Tottenham came out strongly for the second half and had a penalty appeal turned down by referee Martin Atkinson when Son claimed handball against Scott Dann. 

A brilliant Eriksen strike flew just past the top corner a few moments later, while Kane's downward header was saved by Hennessey.

A leveller appeared to be coming and it arrived on 63 minutes when substitute Chadli's looping cross found Kane, who leapt well above Damien Delaney to convert with a close-range header.

The home side went even closer to a dramatic late winner when Jason Puncheon's free-kick was headed against the bar by Dann and substitute Mile Jedinak then smashed the bar himself with his effort from the rebound.

Those misses became more significant when Alli netted one of the goals of the season with six minutes left on the clock. The midfielder controlled Eriksen's header, brilliantly flicked the ball over Jedinak and unleashed a stunning volley past Hennessey.
