Tottenham Hotspur are still hanging on to their Premier League status, thanks largely to João Palhinha, whose first-half goal gave them an important lead against visiting Everton.
Few could have imagined Spurs battling for survival on the final day of the season, yet Roberto De Zerbi's impact in north London was evident as Tottenham rose to the challenge when it counted the most.
On a day when Spurs watched their fiercest rivals receive a guard of honour at Selhurst Park, Palhinha’s decisive performance sent the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium crowd into raptures.
The veteran midfielder made his first shot on target count, setting a personal record by scoring his fifth goal of the campaign in the 42nd minute. He was quickest to react after his initial header struck Jordan Pickford’s near post, calmly slotting in the rebound.
With that vital contribution, one of England’s most storied clubs remains out of danger from relegation to the Championship — at least for now.
