Tottenham Hotspur are drawing 0-0 with relegation strugglers Crystal Palace at White Hart Lane this afternoon, after Palace midfielder Jason Puncheon missed a vital first-half penalty.
Promising youngster Nabil Bentaleb created the hosts' first chance of the game as he let go with a left-footed shot from outside the box, which was saved down to the keeper's right.
The visitors were then handed an easy chance to take the lead when Mousa Dembele gave away a penalty, but Puncheon blazed his kick high and wide of the goal.

Puncheon almost redeemed himself minutes later when he put in a teasing delivery, which was somehow headed over from close range by Palace forward Marouane Chamakh.
Cameron Jerome did his best to make the most of a scrappy first half as he took down a headed pass from Chamakh and was unfortunate to see his effort kept out by the sprawling Hugo Lloris.
Bentaleb almost turned the half on its head when his left-footed effort from outside the box crashed into Julian Speroni's post as the sides went into the break level.
