Van de Ven puts his team in a seriously tough situation.

Details: Tonight’s Premier League matchday 29 clash between Tottenham and Crystal Palace is turning into a real thriller on the pitch.

First, the main referee disallowed a Crystal Palace goal for offside—one of their players was caught offside by the tip of his nose.

Then, in the 38th minute, Tottenham’s central defender Micky van de Ven committed a last-man foul on Palace’s Ismaïla Sarr.

Referee Andrew Madley showed no leniency to Tottenham—he immediately pointed to the spot and brandished a red card for van de Ven.

The resulting penalty was calmly converted by Sarr, the player who was fouled, and deep into first-half stoppage time, Larsen put Palace ahead.

It's worth noting that there have been rumors in the media that if Tottenham lose tonight, head coach Igor Tudor could be dismissed.

The second half promises even more drama!

Reminder: Last chance. Igor Tudor could be sacked after the match against Crystal Palace
