Heung-Min Son broke his goal drought and Harry Kane scored twice as Tottenham beat Crystal Palace 4-0 at Selhurst Park
To use a sporting cliché, it was a game of two halves for Spurs
 Antonio Conte was looking for a reaction from his side after a draw against Brentford and defeat to Aston Villa since the league restarted after the World Cup
They were run ragged by an impressive Palace in the opening 45 minutes, who themselves were looking to atone for an abysmal 3-0 defeat to Fulham in their last home outing
But as has often been the story for the Eagles, they failed to take their chances as Tottenham's quality began to shine through in the second half
 Kane, on his 300th Premier League appearance, nodded Spurs ahead in the 48th minute
He swept home his second five minutes later, taking him to within two goals of Jimmy Greaves' all-time scoring record for Tottenham (266)
The pressure had been on Son too as he continued to struggle in front of goal
 He thought he had nabbed an assist for Matt Doherty's goal (68), but his cross took a deflection off Nathaniel Clyne on the way through
The South Korea forward soon broke his eight-game barren run in the 72nd minute, linking up with his strike partner Kane for yet another Spurs goal
 It was a fine volley from too, rounding off an excellent evening for Spurs
"[My goal] was about time!", Son told Sky Sports after the game
 "It felt amazing
 To be honest I felt really sorry for the team because I think they were expecting more than what I've done
"I hope today was the turning point, getting back the confidence and I will continue to help the team
"The result takes them to within two points of the Champions League places, although they have played a game more than Manchester United in fourth
While Crystal Palace's performance was an improvement on the Fulham defeat, they have now lost two successive Premier League games at Selhurst Park, dropping down a place into 12th
While Tottenham were the better side in the opening 25 minutes, there were not too many chances to shout about
 Wilfried Zaha was unable to meet Michael Olise's right wing cross, before the France U21 international skied his own effort
 At the other end, Kane directed his own header past the post
But Crystal Palace soon began to find a foothold in the game and should have gone into the break ahead
 Zaha easily bypassed Oliver Skipp and Bryan Gil before finding Ayew
 However, the Ghana forward's shot was well-saved by Hugo Lloris
Just after the hour, Joachim Andersen was encouraged to shoot by the home fans - and he obliged
 After cutting the ball onto his left, he sent a superb, curling effort goalwards, with a last minute swerve seeing it misses the target by inches
Crystal Palace continued to dominate and Tottenham will have been grateful to have gone in on level terms at the break
 The Eagles should have scored 15 seconds after the restart too
 Cristian Romero's poor touch from Joel Ward's long ball allowed Ayew to nip through, but Eric Dier was there to block the shot
But the Eagles were punished for their lack of finishing as Kane scored twice in five minutes
 Gil picked out Ivan Perisic on the left, who swept a cross to a waiting Kane at the back post
 He then rose above Joel Ward to nod home the opener
It was then Kane who created the second goal himself, playing a neat give-and-go with Gil down the right wing
 Once he received the ball back, it was an easy, slotted finish from the England captain as he closes in on Greaves' record
Crystal Palace hardly sat back in the aftermath either - Olise curled wide before substitute Jean-Philippe Mateta nodded over - but Tottenham were not done yet as Kane again set-up his team-mates
He found Son down the right of the area - forced wide by Ward - with his eventual cross taking a deflection off Clyne from close range
 However, Doherty still collected the ball and rifled past Vicente Guaita for Tottenham's third
But Son finally made the breakthrough, breaking his worst goalless run since October 2018
 Kane looped a ball over the top, finding his team-mate, who had got ahead of Marc Guehi
 It was a fine volleyed finish from the forward too, peeling off his mask and throwing it into the area as he celebrated in front of the away fans
Crystal Palace kept finding openings through - Lloris twice needing to save from Ayew and Zaha - but they were unable to spoil Spurs' party as they took all three points back to north London
"Graeme said before the game that when you've got a player like Harry Kane you've always got a chance and that came to fruition there
"He was just incredible, not just his goals, his all-round play
 He held it up, brought people into play, his touch was exquisite
 It was a masterclass second half and his second goal is as good as it gets
"The touch and the finish is sublime and we've seen him do it time and time again
 Just an incredible player
""He has not looked at the goal or the goalkeeper [for his second goal] but he knows where the goal is because of the line on the six-yard box
 He is a class act, the one English player who is truly world class for me
"I think they will finish in the top four because they have him
 Keep him fit
 He is Mr Goals
 And you've got a good chance of winning games if you've got him in your team
""Really important [result]
 We've not come back and had the best results, we did well at Brentford to get something out of the game and then losing at home a few days ago was tough
 It was a tough game today away from home so it was nice to put that performance in
"I thought we started the game well, so it was more just getting back to that in the second half
 It was about moving the ball quick, getting runs in behind and then just quality in the final third
"These are the games, if you go 1-0 behind, you can find it really difficult to get back into it
 The games are coming thick and fast so it was great to get three points here
"Hopefully we can carry this momentum into the games ahead
""It was a good reaction
 It's not easy to win against Crystal Palace away, we are talking about a really good team, well organised
"After the first half it was in the balance, then in the second half we exploited chances to score and then we finish with a good final result
"The message [at half-time] was to continue to play, because we started the game very well and then in the second part of the first half we lost a bit of the possession
 I think we played a good game, we were well organised without the ball, we tried to press high
"I'm happy because our strikers scored, Harry scored twice and Sonny finally scored
 It was really important for him, because we are talking about a player who needs to score and feel confidence
"Now we have to continue to try and improve
 Today I'm happy because in this period we are playing with many young players
