Crystal Palace manager Pierre Sage is under growing pressure to find answers after his side suffered a third consecutive Premier League defeat, going down 2-0 to Tottenham Hotspur.

The result leaves Palace in a difficult position in the league table, with Sage's team struggling to rediscover the form that had earlier promised a more comfortable campaign.

Sage acknowledged the setback following the loss at Tottenham, with his side unable to find a way through against their opponents. The defeat adds to back-to-back losses that have raised questions about Palace's direction under their new manager.

Tottenham, for their part, claimed all three points with a controlled performance, handing Palace a third straight league reverse and compounding the pressure on Sage's tenure at Selhurst Park.
