Tottenham made up for the hesitation from the first round and beat Everton 4-0 at home. The guests, who are experiencing a miserable start to the season, did not win against Spurs for the eighth time in a row.
In the first round, Everton was not enough at home against Brighton 0:3, and now they had a very difficult match at Tottenham’s hot ground. Even the home team could not be satisfied with the first match, a draw with the returnee from Leicester was certainly not a satisfactory result.
Tottenham seemed to sense that there was something to fix and flew into the match with all the pomp. During the first quarter of an hour alone, visiting goalkeeper Jordan Pickford had to intervene three times, but he did not prevent the first goal. Dejan Kulusevski passed to Yves Bissoum on the edge of the penalty area, who immediately scored the first goal after returning to the club.
Although Pickford made several good shots in the beginning, it was his signature behind the home side’s second goal. Poor handling allowed Heung-Min Son to steal the ball and send it into an open goal. The caramels tried to answer in the first half, but the strong defense of the Londoners did not allow a reduction.
Spurs eased up considerably in the second half. A toothless attack forced Everton coach Sean Dyche to make substitutions, but even fresh reinforcements failed to ignite the flame of hope. On the other hand, Cristian Romero completely grounded the visiting team with a header after James Maddison’s corner. Micky van de Ven and Heung-Min Son completed the destruction of Everton. The first-named put out the South Korean shooter, who rounded off the home side’s attacking performance with his second goal of the afternoon.
