Matt Doherty on target as Tottenham bounce back at Crystal Palace

Matt Doherty was among the goalscorers as Tottenham returned to winning ways with a 4-0 victory over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.

The hosts had put in a fine performance in a goalless first half but Harry Kane struck twice inside five early second-half minutes to change the momentum.

Republic of Ireland wing-back Doherty added a third before Son Heung-min extended the visitors' advantage as they picked up their first victory since the Premier League resumed after the World Cup break.

Kane's two strikes brought his Tottenham total to 264, just two shy of Jimmy Greaves' club record, while his opener ended a run of 10 successive games in which Spurs conceded the first goal.

Michael Olise, who set up both goals in Palace's 2-0 victory at Bournemouth, tried to pick up another assist when he found Jordan Ayew inside the area but he failed to get a shot in before the ball rolled out.

The hosts enjoyed a period of sustained pressure which saw Wilfried Zaha almost connect with a cross from Olise, who then skied an effort of his own from distance.

Eberechi Eze skipped over a sliding tackle but saw his shot stopped by Hugo Lloris before Zaha dodged his way between two white shirts to feed Jordan Ayew, who could not make anything of the opening.

Palace were inches away from pulling ahead when Joachim Andersen snaked an effort from distance just wide of the right post as the sides reached the half-time break goalless.

The hosts' first period performance earned a round of applause from their fans as they walked into the tunnel, but it was all undone within three minutes of the restart.

The Eagles started the second half brightly, with Joel Ward bouncing an effort wide of the right post inside the first minute.
