Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou was delighted with the character shown for their exciting win against Crystal Palace.

Ebere Eze had Palace ahead on the hour mark before Spurs stormed back via goals from Timo Werner, Cristian Romero and Heung-min Son in the final 12 minutes.

Postecoglou later said: "Persistence, some quality, belief. It wasn't easy game with them sitting so deep. We needed a goal to open them up but still kept composed and disciplined. When they got their goal it was only time they got the ball in our half. The reaction was outstanding.

"It was a game we should have won a lot more comfortably but we had real belief in the process and were not getting swayed by things not going our way. I thought the mentality was first rate.

On Werner's first goal for Spurs, he said: "For all of the attacking players goals are important. I thought he was having good game generally [despite first-half miss]. He didn't stop believing, got into the right area and outstanding work from Brennan [Johnson, who provided the cross]."

On James Maddison's assist for the second goal and Son's late strike, the manager added: "In those moments looking for leaders and our last three goals were the leaders we have in the group. Son deserved his goal. He worked hard. That is the person you want on the ball."
