☝️ Spurs starlet nets first senior goal in critical derby clash

The Family Gray has another milestone to celebrate this evening after Spurs starlet Archie Gray got his name on the scoresheet against Crystal Palace.

There's been little to celebrate for Tottenham across the 2025/26 Premier League season under Thomas Frank, with the capital side marred by questions of managerial suitability and once again falling short of expectations.

But on a night where a vital three points against a fellow mid-table occupant could potentially kick-start a run in the New Year, there was no better time for Gray to pop up with his first senior goal just three minutes before the break.

The 17-year-old headed home from Richarlison's flicked header after a Spurs corner, capping his 112th appearance for Tottenham in style.

With that, Gray is now the youngest English player to score for Tottenham in the Premier League since Dele Alli (January 2016), who also did it against Palace.

Can he go on to equal, or better, Alli's previous contributions for the club?
