Ange Postecoglou, the manager of Tottenham Hotspur, expressed his hope that Timo Werner's recent goal will boost the player's confidence following a challenging period.

Werner, on loan from RB Leipzig, found the net in a vital 3-1 victory against Crystal Palace, marking his first goal for Spurs since his move in January. This win was particularly significant as it prevented Tottenham from suffering back-to-back defeats.

Despite Tottenham's struggle to penetrate Crystal Palace's defence in the initial stages of the match, Werner's goal in the 77th minute was a turning point.

It followed an impressive effort by Brennan Johnson, who played a crucial role in overturning the game's dynamics. Cristian Romero and captain Son Heung-min also contributed to the scoreline, ensuring a comeback for the hosts.

Werner's performance was a mixed bag, having missed a significant opportunity in the first half. However, Postecoglou praised Werner's overall impact on thegame, highlighting his constant threat and aggressive play. The manager acknowledged the importance of goals for attacking players in terms of boosting their confidence and relieving pressure.

The match saw Crystal Palace taking an initial lead with Eberechi Eze's stunning free-kick before Tottenham's late resurgence. Postecoglou lauded his team's belief and reaction to conceding a goal, emphasizing their persistence and adherence to their playing style.

Meanwhile, new Palace manager Oliver Glasner expressed disappointment at not being able to maintain their lead but commended his team's performance for most of the match. Glasner pointed out that achieving victory at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium requires near perfection throughout the game.
