Porro punches bench after sub in Spurs v Palace, ex-Sporting furious | OneFootball

Crystal Palace further deepened Tottenham's crisis in the Premier League by winning 3-1 at the Spurs' home on Thursday night, closing out round 29 of the competition. With their fifth consecutive defeat in the league, the team led by Igor Tudor is currently in 16th place on the table, with 29 points, just one point above the relegation zone.

With former Sporting players, Palhinha and Pedro Porro in Tottenham's starting lineup, Dominik Solanke scored for Tottenham in the 34th minute.

Senegalese winger Ismaila Sarr was called to take a penalty in the 40th minute and did not falter, equalizing the game. Jorgen Strand Larsen marked the comeback at 45+1', with Ismaila Sarr scoring again at 45+7'.

The match was already in the second half when Pedro Porro, who started the game, was taken off the field by Igor Tudor in the 74th minute. The former Sporting player - a club that could reach an impressive milestone in Braga - did not hide his irritation with the fourth official and left the field furious. The bench paid the price, as it was punched by the Spaniard.

It should be noted that Tottenham has yet to win in 2026, and not even their continued presence in the UEFA Champions League cheers up the players and fans. The arrival of Igor Tudor did not have the desired psychological effect, and he has only added defeats to the Spurs' record.
