Harry Kane scored two goals in the second half as Spurs beat Crystal Palace.
It was the first time Spurs had taken a lead in a game since October. They had conceded the first goal in every game.
He hit a low second into the bottom corner.
The captain has scored more goals for Spurs than any other player in the club's history.
Kane had a hand in their next two goals as well. Son Heung-min was the one who picked out Matt.
After setting Son up with a long ball forward, the South Korean smashed home to end a 12-game dry spell for his club and country.
The score in the end was satisfying.
It could have been different if Palace took one of their chances before the break.
It's nice to have someone to rely on. Kane is the constant source of comfort for Spurs.
Headlines before the game were again around manager Antonio Conte and his latest quotes about wanting more investment in his team and casting doubt over his long-term future.
Kane wasn't at his best in the first half. He came to life after the first half.
It was the 11th year in a row that Kane has scored for Spurs, as he leaped above two defenders to head in a corner kick.
His second goal was his 200th in the premier league.
It was the turn of others to score, with the first goal of the season going to the man in the middle.
Son's return to the scoresheet is timely because of Dejan Kulusevski's injury and not knowing when he will return.
Last season's Golden Boot winner, the South Korean, has scored in all but two of the league's games this season.
He is the fourth Spurs player to score on their 200th start in the league, following Teddy, Kane and Lennon.
Palace should have taken the lead at the half.
Michael Olise had a shot that was blocked by Lloris, and Joachim Andersen had a shot that was narrowly missed.
They had seven attempts in a row, starting in the 24th and ending in the 44th.
Many of the chances Palace had in the second half came with the game already decided.
