Yesterday I wanted to catch the Crystal Palace vs Tottenham highlights but totally missed the live match. Figured I’d find a quick timeline of key moments instead of watching the whole replay. Here’s exactly how I did it step by step.
First Attempt: Total Mess
Started by googling “Crystal Palace Tottenham timeline.” Big mistake. Got flooded with pre-match articles, betting sites, and spoilers showing the final score in headlines. Couldn’t find a clean play-by-play anywhere.
Switching Tactics
Remembered the official Premier League app might have something. Opened it, found the match under “Results,” but the timeline section was buried. Only showed goals with tiny timestamps – no substitutions or cards unless I clicked each event individually. Took forever on mobile.
The Social Media Trap
Checked Twitter next. Searched #CRYTOT filtering to latest posts. Instantly saw:
“RED CARD! 63′” then someone posted “FINAL SCORE: 2-1” right below it. Got spoiled instantly. Mad at myself.
Finally Found the Fix
Dug through sports news sites. Most had match reports but cluttered with ads. Then spotted a “Match Center” page on one site with this layout:
- Minute-by-minute text updates
- Key icons for goals/subs/cards
- No spoilers unless you scrolled down
Perfect! Clicked the timeline tab and scanned:
Goal 21′ – Son (TOT)
Yellow card 37′ – Romero (TOT)
Sub 64′ – Eze on (CP)
Quick Guide I Learned
If you need this fast next time:
- NEVER Google the match name + “timeline” first
- Use league apps but expect clunky navigation
- Avoid social media unless you want spoilers
- Find a sports site with “Match Center” tab
- Scroll ONLY to the timeline section
Took me 20 minutes of fails but now I’ve got a system. Worth it for derby days!
