LONDON &mdash,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]; Spain striker Roberto Soldado scored a second-half penalty on his Tottenham debut to secure a 1-0 victory over fellow London side Crystal Palace on Sunday.
Tottenham was awarded the penalty in the 50th minute after Palace defender Dean Moxey handballed a cross from Aaron Lennon as he slid in to block the ball going into the penalty area,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Tottenham's Gareth Bale, a target for Real Madrid,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], was not in the squad as he was injured and Andre Villas-Boas' side seemed to miss his creativity in the first half. The majority of Tottenham's attacks came from the right side of midfield through Lennon and Kyle Walker.
"We wanted to start with a win," defender Jan Vertonghen said. "It's a good result but next we want to score more goals."
Tottenham enjoyed the majority of possession in the first half but could only test goalkeeper Julian Speroni with long range shots as Ian Holloway's team defended strongly.
Belgium midfielder Mousa Dembele went close in the 13th,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], his shot from 25 yards going narrowly over the crossbar.
Gylfi Sigurdsson then forced a spectacular save from Speroni 10 minutes before halftime,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the Palace goalkeeper acrobatically tipping the shot from just outside the area over the crossbar.
Nacer Chadli, an international teammate of Dembele's,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], then headed over from six yards out with the last touch of the half — missing a fantastic chance to score on his debut for the London club.
