Supporters of Tottenham Hotspur staged a mass walkout before half time during their Premier League clash with Crystal Palace after a dramatic first half collapse left the home side trailing 3–1 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on March 5, 2026.
The match initially began on a promising note for Spurs, with the home crowd expecting a strong performance. However, the momentum quickly shifted when Crystal Palace mounted a rapid comeback that stunned both players and fans.
Ismaïla Sarr scored twice in quick succession to give the visitors control of the match, while Jørgen Strand Larsen added a third goal during a relentless attacking spell that left Tottenham struggling to respond.
The situation worsened for the home side when Tottenham defender Micky van de Ven received a red card, reducing Spurs to ten men and intensifying the frustration among supporters inside the stadium.
As Palace tightened their grip on the match, thousands of Tottenham fans began leaving their seats and heading for the exits well before the half time whistle, an unusual scene that highlighted the growing anger among the club’s supporters.
