Furious Tottenham fans launched a revolt after ten-man Spurs were plunged closer to relegation.

Thousands of angry supporters left at half time after Spurs were humiliated by Crystal Palace while stand-in captain Micky van de Ven was also sent off.

Angry fans still in the stadium turned their fury on the club’s hierarchy as a number of fans had to be held back by stewards as they shouted abuse at the directors’ box and club analysts.

Spurs interim boss Igor Tudor also saw his team booed off after suffering his third straight defeat since taking charge and they are now just one point above the drop zone.

Spurs had taken the lead through Dominic Solanke after Palace forward Ismaila Sarr had a goal ruled out through offside.

But the lead lasted all of six minutes as Sarr converted from the spot after he was pulled down by Van de Ven, who will now miss next Sunday's clash with Liverpool.

Jorgen Strand Larsen put Palace ahead before Sarr rounded off the scoring all in first half injury time with the second half a mere formality.

Spurs remain only one point outside the relegation places after West Ham United and Nottingham Forest both got positive results this week at Fulham and Manchester City respectively.

"I don't think there is quality," former Spurs striker Peter Crouch said on TNT Sports' coverage of the game. "The best players are out injured. Tottenham are bang in trouble.

"I look at Manchester United and they looked to Michael Carrick, he has managed to get a tune out of those players straight away. Tudor is a massive gamble.

"There are no players who have come through from the youth team, players who know the club.

"Archie Gray was the best player for Tottenham, and he's 19 years old. There's not enough leaders out there."
