Spurs rising star Gray eager to keep learning after first senior goal

LONDON Gray was at fault when Spurs conceded a goal in a 3-0 loss at Forest a fortnight ago, but was backed by boss Frank afterwards. He retained his place in Spurs and rewarded that decision with a header to score for the 1st time on his 112th appearance

Tottenham Hotspur teenager Archie Gray is determined to improve after scoring his first professional goal in a valuable 1-0 win at Crystal Palace.

"It was a difficult game for me at Forest," said Gray after he helped Tottenham to only a second win in their last nine Premier League matches.

"The mistake was obviously my fault but that game I just tried to get on the ball as much as I could, tried to be positive and forget about the mistake.

"Obviously (this) still wasn't the best game, it was a scrappy game but to get a goal is something every child dreams of," he also told SpursPlay.

"We knew if we could keep a clean sheet, we would get the chances to try and get a goal. Our back four was amazing and everyone to be fair with the mentality.

"I just found myself in the right place at the right time and it was probably Richy's (Richarlison's) flick which did all the work. I was stood what, two yards out from goal?
