The visitors took the lead just before the hour mark despite being dominated in possession and chances created. The go-ahead goal prompted Palace to sit even deeper than they were before their lead, which ultimately allowed Tottenham to find the equaliser and open the match up.

Timo Werner's 77th-minute goal was followed by a Cristian Romero strike three minutes later, and Spurs talisman Son Heung-min sealed the victory with the team's third and final goal 10 minutes from full-time.

It was a dramatic display of resiliency from the home side, who drew plaudits from their manager after the match.

"Persistence, some quality, belief," Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou told BBC Sport when asked what powered his side's comeback. "It wasn't easy game with them sitting so deep.

"We needed a goal to open them up but still kept composed and disciplined. When they got their goal it was only time they got the ball in our half. The reaction was outstanding."

Postecoglou admitted that Tottenham shouldn't have even been in a position that required a fightback, but praised the players' mindset after going down.

"It was a game we should have won a lot more comfortably but we had real belief in the process and were not getting swayed by things not going our way," he said. "I thought the mentality was first rate."
