Mateta’s goal on 31 minutes was enough to secure 1-0 home victory against Tottenham Hotspur.
Coming off the back of three straight defeats, the pressure was on Oliver Glasner, and his team delivered the goods for their fans at Selhurst Park on Sunday.
Their winner came in the 31st minute when Mateta latched onto Eberechi Eze’s clever flick and drilled in from close range.
While Brennan Johnson saw a shot hit the post for Spurs, Palace looked most likely to get the matches second goal, and Eze saw one ruled out for offside while Adam Wharton was thwarted by Guglielmo Vicario.
Palace were not made to pay for failing to add a second, however, as they claimed a morale-boosting result that takes them up to 17th, while Spurs are eighth after two defeats from their last three league matches.
