Tottenham player ratings vs Crystal Palace - Van de Ven crazy, Porro anger as Archie Gray fights

Here are our Tottenham player ratings after their defeat against Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Thursday night

Tottenham fell to a 3-1 defeat to Crystal Palace in the Premier League on a Thursday night that turned with Micky van de Ven's red card and here are our Spurs player ratings.

Igor Tudor made four changes to the team that lost at Fulham with Kevin Danso, Mathys Tel and Pape Matar Sarr coming into the starting line-up and 19-year-old Souza given a first start for the club.

Ismaila Sarr thought he had given Palace the lead in the 29th minute, his shot deflecting up off Pedro Porro and over Guglielmo Vicario and into the net. After a long VAR check for offside, Sarr's face is adjudged to be offside.

Just five minutes later and Spurs looked to be up and running as Archie Gray got between two defenders and hit a low cross that Dominic Solanke thumped into the net form close range.

Just four minutes later and everything went horribly wrong. Captain for the night Van de Ven pulled back Sarr as he ran into the box, earning a red card and gifting Palace a penalty which Sarr rolled home.

Matters just kept getting worse in added time at the end of the half as first Jorgen Strand Larsen ran on to Adam Wharton's ball and poked the ball through Vicario's legs. Then Wharton again carved Spurs apart with a ball over the top that Sarr beat Vicario to and poked home.

Spurs had chances in the second half with 10 men as Solanke and Danso tested Henderson but they could not find a way back into the game.

Here are our Spurs player ratings after the game:

Guglielmo Vicario

Saved early on from Wharton but dived the wrong way for Sarr's penalty, got nutmegged by Strand Larsen and beaten to the ball by Sarr before the break. 4

Pedro Porro

Played on the right of a back three before the red card. Lack of communication with Vicario for Palace's third goal. Kept trying to play balls over the top with little success and was furious with everything when he came off. 4

Kevin Danso

Back in the team and gave everything. Forced a save from Henderson early in the second half. Was Spurs' best defender on the night. 6

Micky van de Ven

Absolute madness. Captain for the night and his brain switched off for the moment that turned everything, pulling back on Sarr after he got in front of him. 2

Archie Gray

Spurs' best player on the night by a mile. Once again a teenager had to drive on the team and he got inside two Palace defenders before crossing low to Solanke to fire home. Had another chance in the second half after dribbling into the box and fought for everything, with tackles aplenty. 7

Pape Matar Sarr

Sent an early shot wide. Got a first half yellow card for showing an imaginary yellow card after a Palace foul. Dispossessed for the second Palace goal but it was a difficult pass from Tel. Put in the yards in the second half to no avail. 5

Joao Palhinha

Started off in midfield but switched back to defence after the red card. Slow to react to some of the late first half danger. 5

Souza

His first Spurs start and got a booking within six minutes for a late challenge on Munoz that eventually forced the Palace man off with a shoulder injury. Then got taken off after the red card. 4

Randal Kolo Muani

Taken off with Souza and went straight down the tunnel. Hadn't offered much before coming off. 4

Dominic Solanke

Looked to have put Spurs into gear with his close range first half goal. Battled away and got into the box on 66 minutes with a low shot saved by Henderson. 6

Mathys Tel

Cut inside and had an early effort saved. Gave Palace some problems but also Sarr with a poor pass that led to Palace's second goal. 5

Subs

Conor Gallagher

Ran around a lot with little quality in possession. 5

Yves Bissouma

Helped Spurs keep control of the ball at times in the second half. He holds the ball better than most. 6

Richarlison

Came on for the final 15 minutes or so and threw himself around a bit. 5

Xavi Simons

Went on a couple of runs that drew fouls but wasn't able to produce any late magic. 5
