Tottenham trims Chelsea's lead to four points by beating Palace
Top-scorer Harry Kane teed up Eriksen to unleash the dipping shot from around 25 yards (meters) in the 78th minute into the bottom corner of the net.
LONDON: Tottenham trimmed Chelsea's lead to four points again by edging past Crystal Palace 1-0 on Wednesday, with Christian Eriksen clinching the north London team's eighth successive Premier League win.
Top-scorer Harry Kane teed up Eriksen to unleash the dipping shot from around 25 yards (meters) in the 78th minute into the bottom corner of the net.
Tottenham's bid for a first title since 1961 rests on Chelsea dropping points on the five-game final stretch. Palace is seven points above the relegation zone.
