Spurs knew that three points would see them close the gap between themselves and the top half.

Ahead of this game against the Toffees, Tottenham Hotspur were sat in 14th place with a total of 24 points to their name by that point in the season. If the Lilywhites got all three points against their Merseyside counterparts, they could climb up to 12th place in what would be an important three points for the North London Club.

In the game before this match against Everton, Tottenham had been involved in a narrow 2 – 1 defeat in the North London Derby against Arsenal the week before their encounter with the Toffees. The goals for the Gunners in a game played at the Emirates Stadium was scored by Leandro Trossard (44’), whilst there was also an own goal from Tottenham Hotspur’s English forward Dominic Solanke (40’). Meanwhile, the only goal of the game scored by Spurs was from their talismanic forward Son Heung-Min (25’).

As for Everton, they had suffered defeat in their game in the week before this game against Tottenham when they were on the end of a narrow 1 – 0 home defeat at Goodison Park against Unai Emery’s Aston Villa, where senior England international forward Ollie Watkins scored the winning goal in this game in the early stages of the second half (51’).

Ahead of this game, the Toffees, led by David Moyes, were sat two spots below Spurs in 16th place with 18 points to their name and with a gap between themselves and the relegation places of just two points. They were looking to put as much distance between themselves and the bottom three as possible, and they knew that a victory against Spurs at Goodison Park would help them to do so.

In the end, in what was Moyes’ first game in charge since his return, it was unfortunately for Spurs defeat, with the Lilywhites being beaten 3 – 2 by the team from the blue side of Merseyside in the end in what was an action packed game at Goodison Park.

The first chance of the game fell to the hosts, with their Danish attacking midfielder Jesper Lindstrom forcing a great and equally crucial early save from Tottenham Goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky to keep the score level between these two teams in the very early stages of proceedings in this game (7’).

Then, shortly after Iliman Ndiaye had an effort get blocked by the Spurs defence, Everton broke the deadlock thanks to a goal from Dominic Calvert-Lewin who found the bottom left corner of the net after being found by a pass into his feet from midfielder Idrissa Gueye (13’).

A short time after that, a Djed Spence effort on goal from outside of the box was blocked well by the home defence after the defender had attempted to score after he had received the ball from forward Dejan Kulusevski (22’).

Then came another big chance shortly after which this time came courtesy of their talisman Son Heung-Min. The South Korean forward unleashed an effort on goal that had to be well saved by Toffees Goalkeeper Jordan Pickford, with it being Dejan Kulusevski who created yet another chance for his team (24’).

There was then a flurry of chances for both teams. Firstly, the hosts Everton had two chances in very quick succession – Orel Mangala forced a great save from Kinsky with an effort from close range, before the aforementioned Dominic Calvert-Lewin forced a save from the Czech Republic Goalkeeper himself with another close range effort on goal (26’).

Son Heung-Min then had another chance to score a goal himself as he attempted to restore parity in this game with a close range effort, only for Pickford to come up with another effective save for Everton (27’).

Then, unfortunately for Spurs, the hosts scored their second goal of the game to make it 2 – 0 to the Toffees after Iliman Ndiaye found the top left corner with a clinical and effective finish after Gueye had found him with a pass that was his second assist of the game (30’).

Shortly after this goal, Lucas Bergvall had a chance to halve the deficit for Tottenham, but his effort flew too high over the crossbar with Kulusevski involved again in chance creation (33’).

Near the end of the first half, James Tarkowski forced a save from Kinsky (45+6’), whilst Calvert-Lewin missed the target with his own effort in stoppage time. This was before the home side made it 3 – 0 before the break thanks to an own goal from Tottenham’s Archie Gray (45+7’).

Then came the half time break with Spurs having it all to do in the second half that followed where they would attempt a comeback.

With barely more than ten minutes to go in the game in normal time, Tottenham had a very big chance to score through Mikey Moore, but the young forward had his effort blocked. This was before the visitors would pull one goal back just seconds later when the aforementioned Dejan Kulusevski found the back of the net with a clinical effort from within the penalty area to decrease the deficit to two goals (77’).

Shortly after that Spurs’ Brazilian forward Richarlison had two chances himself to get his name on the score sheet on that afternoon later on in the game. He had an initial effort get blocked by the defenders for Everton, before then forcing an effective save from England’s number one Goalkeeper Jordan Pickford just seconds later (84’).

Then in the stoppage time at the end of the second half in the dying embers of this game, Spurs scored again to reduce the deficit further to just one goal after the aforementioned Richarlison found the back of the Toffees’ net via the bottom right corner with a close range shot after receiving following a ball into the box from Mikey Moore via a corner kick (90+2’).

Spurs then had one big chance to score the equalising goal in what would have been a famous comeback for the Lilywhites. However, their attacking midfielder James Maddison saw his late effort on the Everton goal get blocked well by the home defence to deny the North London club an equaliser that would have restored parity in this game (90+4’).

The full time whistle then went with Tottenham on the end of what was a narrow 3 – 2 defeat to David Moyes’ Everton at Goodison Park in the Premier League.

It was the visitors Spurs who had the most possession of the ball with 64.6% compared with Everton’s 35.4% over the ninety minutes plus stoppage time in this game. Both sides had 6 shots on target each, whilst it was the hosts Everton who had marginally more shots in general than their North London counterparts with 12 compared with Tottenham’s total of 11 in total.
