"It was an amazing goal, he showed tremendous quality. It was fantastic for the team," Argentine Pochettino told reporters at Selhurst Park.
"I'm very pleased. It was a difficult game because they had a clear week to prepare and we played at Leicester in the FA Cup on Wednesday, but I am delighted with the performance," he added referring to Spurs' third-round replay success.
Pardew added: "It was a great goal. It was not a great goal for Crystal Palace, but it was a great goal all the same."
The victory stretched Tottenham's unbeaten away league run to 10 matches since they lost to an own goal at Manchester United on the opening day of the season, and keeps up their challenge for a top-four finish, and possibly the title.
Asked if Spurs were serious contenders, Pardew replied: "They have a lot of attributes and are as good in possession as any team in the league.
"Without the ball maybe they need to tighten up a little, because they gave us some opportunities today but they are a very good side."
