Israeli winger Anan Khalaili faced criticism after a viral moment during Crystal Palace's 2-0 loss to Tottenham. The 18-year-old player was left on the ground after being dribbled past by Tottenham's Luca Williams-Barnett in the 90th minute.
Williams-Barnett, making his Premier League debut, executed a skillful dribble into the box, causing Khalaili to fall. The ball then went to Mohammed Kudus, who missed a close-range opportunity that could have resulted in a goal.
Jay Harris, a Tottenham correspondent for The Athletic, tweeted that Williams-Barnett "confused Khalaili with a deceptive dribble and left him on the floor." Harris added that Khalaili should be upset with Kudus for missing the chance and ruining a potential assist on his debut.
George Sessions, reporting for Palace, described the play in real-time, noting that Williams-Barnett "put him on his backside" before finding Kudus in front of an open goal. Kudus's subsequent miss was described as a "slice wide."
