Luis Miguel Echegaray and Janusz Michallik discussed the potential for Everton’s relegation following their 4-0 loss to Tottenham Hotspur.
Everton’s goalkeeper Jordan Pickford made a crucial mistake, while Son Heung-min scored two goals, contributing to Tottenham’s dominant victory on Saturday in the Premier League. Yves Bissouma and Cristian Romero also scored as Tottenham secured their first win of the season, with Everton struggling defensively and still searching for their first goal of the campaign after conceding seven in their first two matches.
In the first half, Pickford mishandled a straightforward back pass, allowing Son to capitalize and score Tottenham’s second goal. Everton’s inability to apply pressure, exacerbated by the absence of several key defenders due to injury, left manager Sean Dyche in need of a significant turnaround ahead of their upcoming match against Bournemouth.
Tottenham’s manager, Ange Postecoglou, expressed frustration over a previous match where they let a lead slip, but was pleased with his team’s control throughout this game. Midfielder James Maddison emphasized the importance of executing the manager’s strategy and capitalizing on scoring opportunities.
Everton struggled to create attacking chances, particularly from set pieces, and paid the price for defensive errors. Tottenham opened the scoring with Bissouma netting his first goal for the club, followed by Son’s quick strike after Pickford’s miscontrol.
Pickford expressed regret toward the Everton fans and his teammates after his mistake. While Tottenham appeared to ease off the pressure, they added to their lead in the 70th minute with Romero scoring a header from a corner, and Son completed the scoring following a strong run from defender Micky van de Ven.
