Tottenham Hotspur delivered a commanding performance on Sunday, securing a 3-0 victory over Everton in the Premier League, thanks to a standout display by defender Micky van de Ven. The Dutchman’s two headed goals in the first half proved decisive, as Tottenham became the first team to win at Everton’s newly inaugurated Hill Dickinson Stadium. The match marked a significant rebound for Tottenham following their recent defeat to Aston Villa, solidifying their position as a formidable force in the league. Van de Ven opened the scoring in the 19th minute, capitalizing on a corner kick with a close-range header. He doubled the lead just before halftime, outmuscling Everton’s goalkeeper Jordan Pickford to nod in another set-piece delivery. Substitute Pape Matar Sarr added a third goal late in the game, sealing the win and lifting Tottenham to third place in the league table with 17 points from nine matches. Everton, meanwhile, struggled to break through Tottenham’s defense, with goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario making several crucial saves, including a spectacular reflex stop to deny Beto. The hosts’ frustration was compounded by a disallowed goal in the first half, ruled out for an infringement on Vicario. Tottenham’s efficiency in set-piece situations highlighted their tactical prowess, while Everton’s inability to capitalize on possession left them languishing in 14th place with 11 points. Van de Ven, who now boasts five goals this season, praised his team’s resilience, stating, ‘We showed great character and mentality today.’
