Tottenham Hotspur and Crystal Palace are level at half time in their Premier League clash at White Hart Lane, as both sides weighed in with a number of chances but were unable to get onto the scoresheet by the break.

The hosts were quickest out of the starting blocks as good work from Dele Alli forced a corner, from which the unmarked Harry Kane nodded over from seven yards.
Mauricio Pochettino's charges dominated proceedings on the pitch in the first quarter of an hour and came close again when Erik Lamela beat his marker and forced a save from Alex McCarthy, with Kane failing to connect onto the rebound.
Palace soon worked their way into the game and saw Brede Hangeland force a save from Hugo Lloris in the 21st minute, before Yannick Bolassie charged past two Spurs defenders and won a corner with a deflected effort just outside the box.
The game continued to deliver flashes of goalmouth action past the half-hour mark, as McCarthy got down low to keep out an Alli drive, while at the other end Lloris acrobatically tipped Bakary Sako's free kick over the bar.
On the stroke of half time the Eagles weighed in with the best chance of the game when Yohan Cabaye's ferocious drive from the right smashed against the post, but ultimately it would be goalless at the break.
