Tottenham's Struggles Continue Against Everton, Spurs Remain Goalless

Tottenham's goal drought continued for a fourth Premier League match this season as they played out a goalless draw with Everton at home. Roberto De Zerbi's side will likely be the happier with the point, especially after the Toffees created several excellent chances to win the game in the second half. Despite spending over £300 million on new players this summer, the London club once again disappointed, leading to boos from their frustrated home support. The Spurs now have just two points, while Everton remains unbeaten in the Premier League this season with six points.

De Zerbi made four changes from the goalless draw against Nottingham Forest. Two of these were forced, as Pedro Porro and Destiny Udogie were absent from the squad due to injuries. Archie Gray and Andy Robertson stepped in to start in their places. Matheus Fernandes and Dominic Solanke also came into the starting XI, replacing Conor Gallagher and Mathys Tel, respectively.

Ainsley Maitland-Niles made his first start for Everton, while Jack Grealish began the match on the bench.

Tottenham started brightly. In just the fifth minute, the hosts squandered a golden opportunity when Robertson delivered a dangerous free-kick to the far post, where Van Hecke connected with a volley but failed to hit the target. Shortly after, Branthwaite blocked a powerful shot from Fernandes.

In the 34th minute, Robertson once again surged forward effectively, setting up Marmoush. However, his cross was cleared by Pickford.

In first-half stoppage time, Garner unleashed a dangerous free-kick, but Kinski managed to parry it away.

Everton looked the more threatening side in the second half, although Fernandes did force a save from Pickford early on – Tottenham's first shot on target of the match.

In the 50th minute, Kinski misjudged a situation, but fortunately for him, Barry headed the ball directly at him. Shortly after, consecutive shots from Barry and George were blocked.

Kinski made a significant error in the 66th minute, gifting the ball to Dewsbury-Hall in an ideal scoring position, but the goalkeeper redeemed himself with a crucial save.

A quarter of an hour before the final whistle, Everton missed another good chance. Johnson received the ball unmarked from about 12-13 yards out but failed to capitalize.

In the dying moments, Pickford also made a mistake. Bergvall struck from around 20 yards, but the England international goalkeeper managed to push it away. Tottenham finished the match with just two shots on target, and their clearest opportunity remained Van Hecke's early effort.
