Chris Sutton Brands Tottenham 'Title Contenders' Following Their Win Over Crystal Palace

Juan Foyth scored the only goal of the match to hand the Lilywhites the crucial win. and the player has left his manager impressed with his important performance.

"Look, we just laugh about that situation because to improve you need to make mistakes, and only making mistakes can you find what it means, and that is going to help him to not repeat again the same situation," Mauricio Pochettino told reporters following the victory.
