Odsonne Edouard scored twice on his debut to help Crystal Palace to a comprehensive 3-0 Premier League win over 10-man Tottenham Hotspur at Selhurst Park.
Spurs centre back Japhet Tanganga was shown a second yellow card in the 58th minute for a foul on Jordan Ayew, five minutes after the defender was adjudged to have illegally blocked winger Wilfried Zaha.
Matters got worse for the visitors as Palace were awarded a penalty when Ben Davies handled from a Conor Gallagher cross in the 75th minute, and Zaha dispatched the spot-kick past Hugo Lloris.
Palace scored again six minutes from time through Edouard, who slotted home from Zaha's cross 27 seconds after coming on, and the Frenchman completed his dream debut in stoppage time following a slick team move.
Crystal Palace boss Patrick Vieira hopes his side's emphatic win over 10-man Tottenham can be the launchpad for their season.
Vieira - a former Arsenal midfielder - celebrated his first win in charge of Palace with the familiar taste of success against Spurs.
"It is important for us to keep calm, keep working and try to improve," the Frenchman said. "The group of players we have is ready to compete in the Premier League, it is just about how we can be consistent.
"We played well and scored goals, how can we play that well next week? It was a really good team performance, we started the game well with energy, we competed well. I am really pleased with the performance we had.
"What we want as a team is to win the game. We played some really good football but we couldn't win games and we wanted that because it will give us confidence and that was the most important thing."
It was a dream debut for Edouard, who joined Palace on transfer deadline day from Celtic.
He scored less than a minute after coming on as a late substitute and added a second in added time, getting his Palace career off to a great start.
Vieira added: "It is a dream start for him. He came on and there was more space and that allowed him to score those goals.
"For him to come on and score those two goals, it is really good for him. It will give him belief and more confidence to do well for the team. I am really happy for him because it will help the team in the future."
Spurs boss Nuno Espirito Santo is concerned about his side's lack of creativity as their 100% start abruptly ended, with key attacking men Son Heung-min and Steven Bergwijn out injured.
Even before they were down to 10 men Spurs barely looked like scoring, with Harry Kane failing to touch the ball in the opposition penalty area for the first time in his career in games where he has played 90 minutes.
Their three previous wins were all by 1-0 margins and Nuno knows there is work to do.
"It is a big concern, we had enough quality and talent to play better," he said. "We didn't do it. Credit to Palace, they were aggressive and they didn't allow too much time on the ball.
"We lost duels, many, many situations that I think we should do much better. In terms of offensive (play), much improvement is required."
