Tottenham Morning Round-Up, Sunday 1st November 2026: Spurs Make It Three Wins on the Bounce as Williams-Barnett Impresses in Derby Victory Over Crystal Palace

Good morning Spurs fans! There's a warm glow around N17 this morning after a solid 2-0 win over Crystal Palace on Saturday evening, with Jean-Philippe Mateta's early red card making things even easier for Tottenham against the 10 men (BBC Sport). It's now three Premier League wins in a row under Roberto De Zerbi, and BBC Sport's chief football writer Phil McNulty is asking whether the elusive consistency Spurs have craved might finally be arriving (BBC Sport).

Plenty of the post-match talk centred on young Luca Williams-Barnett, with De Zerbi full of praise for him and sharing his thoughts on the performance in a lengthy post-match debrief (Football.London). Fans are taking notice too - supporter Kish Patel told BBC Sport to "get to know him," even while admitting Spurs didn't quite hit second gear against Palace (BBC Sport). Football.London's talking points also flagged a mistake involving Williams-Barnett that Tottenham will want to avoid repeating, alongside praise for Van Hecke's efforts for the visitors (Football.London).

Elsewhere, there's a slight concern brewing over Mykhailo Mudryk. The loan signing has been sidelined for two months, but reports suggest he already has plans in place for a return to action in November, something Spurs Web reckons supporters should keep an eye on (Spurs Web).

With the derby win wrapped up and the squad buoyed by three straight victories, all eyes will turn to how De Zerbi look to build further momentum as the Mudryk situation develops through November (BBC Sport) (Spurs Web).
