Crystal Palace fought back from a goal down to secure a 2-1 win over Tottenham .
In-form striker Harry Kane opened the scoring after 49 minutes, Tottenham at that
stage appearing well placed to build on their superb 5-3 triumph over Chelsea on
New Year's Day.
But this London derby did not have such a happy ending for Mauricio Pochettino's
team, as Dwight Gayle netted a 69th-minute penalty after Benjamin Stambouli had
rashly fouled Joe Ledley.
Pardew introduced Wilfried Zaha shortly afterwards – the
forward giving the Tottenham defence and Kyle Walker in
particular a torrid time before creating the winner for
Jason Puncheon.
A fervent Selhurst Park crowd was forced to endure six
minutes of stoppage time before celebrating a result that
lifts their team out of the relegation zone.
Pardew was without Yannick Bolasie and Mile Jedinak,
away on Africa Cup of Nations duty with DR Congo and at
the Asian Cup with Australia respectively, while he handed
Glenn Murray a maiden Premier League start of the season
in attack.
