Crystal Palace 2-0 Tottenham
FA Cup fourth round
Venue: Selhurst Park
Tottenham have been eliminated from two cup competitions in four days after losing 2-0 at Crystal Palace in the FA Cup fourth round on Sunday.
A penalty shootout saw Chelsea reach the EFL Cup final at Tottenham's expense on Thursday night, and another cup exit will prompt fresh concerns over Spurs' trophy drought.
Palace took a ninth-minute lead when Jeff Schlupp's shot was saved by Paulo Gazzaniga but he could only push the ball into the path of Connor Wickham, and the injury-plagued converted off his thigh on his first appearance for 792 days.
The home side extended their advantage after Kyle Walker-Peters handled in the penalty area with Wickham lurking.
Former Spurs winger Andros Townsend slammed the resulting spot-kick straight down the middle.
Spurs tried in vain to fight back into the match in the second half, but lacked quality and fight to leave the Premier League title and Champions League as their only remaining trophy opportunities this season.
