The moment that got Tottenham supporters most excited in Crystal Palace win

Roberto De Zerbi just has a knack doesn't he.

It was the Italian's decision to introduce Dejan Kulusevski to the mix late on against Coventry City that sapped the tension out of the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, making way for euphoria as the Swede stepped foot on the field for the first time in 526 days.

There wasn't quite the degree of nervousness in N17 this time around, with Spurs in cruise control, yet De Zerbi, having expertly baked the cake and masterfully enveloped it in icing, still found a cherry to place on top.

So many have demanded that Lucá Williams-Barnett be given a chance.

And Spurs have a "diamond" in Williams-Barnett. The pre-season star has had to be patient for a chance, but he made the most of what he was given, which was just a few minutes on Saturday evening.

Mohammed Kudus ruins incredible Williams-Barnett moment

Williams-Barnett's introduction supplied some intrigue to the late stages of a contest that was pretty much decided once Jean-Philippe Mateta saw red in the opening exchanges.

Goals from unlikely sources in Archie Gray and Jan Paul van Hecke meant we held a 2-0 lead entering the epilogue.

"This is a player, mark my words; this is a player. He is sensational." Jamie Redknapp on Williams-Barnett.

We cast a close eye on the teenager, who became the 10th-youngest player to represent the club in the Premier League. Within moments, he was on the gallop, receiving the ball down the left flank. He stood up Anan Khalaili one-on-one before driving towards the byline. A chop inside sat the Palace wing-back down, forcing a collection of blue and red-striped bodies into action.

Williams-Barnett was just too sharp, though, beating Chris Richards on the outside before delivering a perfect left-footed cross across goal. Surely, we'd just seen one of the great assists of the season from a player whose Premier League career was barely a couple of minutes old. When Williams-Barnett receives his Ballon d'Or in 2035, that sequence would surely kick off the legacy highlight reel.

If only Mohammed Kudus converted, eh?

The Ghanaian had finished so coolly from a Conor Gallagher cross just before, only to be ruled offside. From the youngster's cross, Kudus got himself in a muddle and shinned the ball back to where it came from—a robbery.

Still, that was a glimpse. Merely a glimpse of the calibre of talent at our disposal.
