The Spurs showcased their determination, unleashing over 20 shots on goal. However, they managed to convert only one, which ultimately proved to be the winner in this pivotal encounter. The decisive moment arrived in the 43rd minute when, from a corner kick, João Palhinha’s header struck the post and rebounded directly back to him. The Portuguese midfielder then pounced on the loose ball, and although Thierno Barry attempted to clear it, the referee confirmed the ball had fully crossed the goal line.

This result saw Tottenham finish in a safe 17th place with 41 points, just two points clear of 18th-placed West Ham, who are relegated to the Championship. Everton, meanwhile, concluded their campaign in 13th position with 49 points, with Newcastle United edging them out for 12th spot by a single goal.
