Spurs had a terrible start to the game as Everton took advantage of defensive lapses to devastating effect. Idrissa Gueye played a crucial role in the first half by providing two crucial assists.
Spurs failed in spite of a late second-half comeback attempt. In the closing moments of the game, Dejan Kulusevski and Richarlison both found the back of the net to cut the deficit, but it wasn’t enough to save a point.
Tottenham’s xG of 1.11, which was much lower than Everton’s 2.03, demonstrated the home team’s effectiveness in the pivotal first half. Spurs are now in 15th place, dangerously close to the relegation zone compared to the top half, after suffering their fifth loss in their last six league games.
After the final whistle, boos and jeers filled the air, demonstrating the fanbase’s frustration. The team, led by captain Heung-min Son, was seen in a widely shared pitchside video expressing regret to the irate fans while facing taunting chants from some members of the audience.
Losing to a 16th-place Everton team has increased scrutiny of Ange Postecoglou’s tactics and leadership, even though injuries to important players like Guglielmo Vicario, Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, Destiny Udogie, and Rodrigo Bentancur have seriously hindered the team.
Concern over Tottenham’s incapacity to win games against underperforming teams is growing. Postecoglou is under increasing pressure to turn around this downward trend as the club’s standing in the league grows more unstable.
