Tottenham fans reacted in unison in their reaction to full-time footage of Eberechi Eze after the side drew goalless with Chelsea.

Referee England overturned his on-field decision, but explained that the free-kick was ruled out because Guéhi, after successfully shifting Caicedo, had moved to within a metre of the Chelsea wall, which is an infringement in itself. The goal wasn’t ruled out because of the Palace captain’s contact with the Ecuadorian.

“On Friday night, Palace put the brakes on a deal for Eze under his £68m release clause, which has now expired. The reason for that was not because of a road block for Spurs and Palace, but because Palace did not have a replacement and still don’t have one lined up.

Delaney was one of the journalists who suggested that Eze might not start Palace’s first match this past weekend over concern about his transfer, only for him to then start anyway (and score a banger of a free kick that was called back by a controversial VAR decision).

Crystal Palace are in discussions with both Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool with regard to selling Eberechi Eze and Marc Guehi respectively. Senior football correspondent Sami Mokbel has the latest.
