Tottenham's Premier League crisis deepened after a 3-1 home defeat to Crystal Palace, leaving them just one point above the relegation zone. Striker Dominic Solanke declared the team has no more excuses following their fifth straight loss and new club record 11-match winless run in the Premier League. The defeat came after taking an early lead before being reduced to 10 men.

New coach Igor Tudor acknowledged his disappointment but claimed to have seen "something in the team and in the dressing room" after the match. The $781 million revenue club faces the daunting task of balancing their relegation battle with a Champions League tie against Atlético Madrid next week. This crisis comes after finishing just one place above relegation last season.

The fifth consecutive defeat highlights Tottenham's dramatic fall from grace, coming just months after winning the Europa League. The club has now had seven managers in less than seven years and faces an unprecedented fight for survival. With fans already heading for the exits at halftime, Tudor warned players must either commit to his vision or "leave the boat."
