The Tottenham Hotspur have defended their leadership in the Premier League.
With the 1: 1 (1: 0) of the Spurs at Crystal Palace, the strangest scene took place before the kick-off.
While almost all players kneeled on the occasion of a minute's silence on the Black Lives Matter movement after a whistle from referee Kevin Friend, Palaces Christian Benteke sprinted towards Tottenham's Son Heung-min.
The Tottenham star then also ran and seemed to want to hold on to his opponent, the situation was reminiscent of a duel during a game.
Apparently they only realized after a few meters that they had missed something.
Only then did they quickly put one knee on the lawn as well.
After the regular kick-off, at least Son remained in the spotlight.
After his preparatory work, Harry hit Kane in the 23rd minute from a distance;
The Palace keeper Vicente Guaita, who is otherwise so strong in this game, misjudged the ball and missed it.
It was the twelfth goal of the season that had preceded a combination between Kane and Son.
The fact that the goal was not enough to win was due to Jeffrey Schlupp, who dusted off in the final phase after a free-kick flank that was insufficiently blocked by Spurs keeper Hugo Lloris (81st).
The fact that the Spurs remain at the top of the table is thanks to Fulham FC.
The newcomer took a point against reigning champions Liverpool.
For a long time it had even looked like a victory for the underdog at the venerable Craven Cottage after Bobby De Cordova-Reid took the lead (25th).
Liverpool, on the other hand, remained harmless, Mohamed Salah had the first chance shortly before the break (44th).
In the second half, goalkeeper Alphonse Areola saved in a direct duel with Jordan Henderson (61st).
The fact that it was even enough to the point for the Reds was due to a handball by Aboubaka Kamara.
The substitute winger fended off a free kick with his arm while standing in the wall.
Salah transformed (79th).
Liverpool had to contend with the failure of its summer signing Diogo Jota;
The 24-year-old has shown strong performances in recent weeks, but injured his knee in the Champions League during the week and is out for up to two months.
