Tottenham Fly High! Three Headers, Three Points
Tottenham turned the air into their playground as they crushed Everton 3–0 at Hill Dickinson Stadium — all three goals coming from headers. It was a harsh reality check for Everton, whose unbeaten home record came crashing down under a storm of Spurs set pieces.
Flying High on Merseyside
Thomas Frank’s side are starting to look unstoppable on the road. Thirteen points from a possible fifteen away from home tell their story — ruthless, organized, and deadly in the air. Leading the charge was captain Micky van de Ven, who rose like a titan to head home twice before half-time.
Everton had possession, intent, and even flashes of flair from Grealish, Ndiaye, and Dewsbury-Hall, but when it came to finishing, they lacked the edge. Spurs, on the other hand, made every corner feel like a loaded weapon.
Two-Goal Captain, One Relentless Team
Van de Ven’s first header came from a flicked assist by Bentancur after a looping corner. His second — a bullet header in stoppage time — silenced the home crowd and left Pickford fuming. “I told him at the start of the season to score more with his head,” smiled Frank after the match. “Now he’s listening.”
Everton thought they had equalized through Jake O’Brien, but VAR intervened — Ndiaye and Grealish were ruled offside and interfering with the goalkeeper. The home fans exploded in anger; the decision stood.
Late Blow and Lessons Learned
Just when Everton seemed ready to fight back, Spurs struck again. In the 89th minute, Pape Matar Sarr sealed the deal — another header, another set-piece dagger. It summed up the day: Spurs sharp, Everton short.
Manager Frank praised his team’s mentality. “Winning 3–0 here against a strong, unbeaten home side is a big statement. Our set-piece work and focus were perfect today.”
Everton’s David Moyes admitted frustration: “We were undone by corners. We played well in open play, but they punished us where it hurt.”
For Spurs, the win sends a clear message — they’re not just stylish anymore, they’re strong. For Everton, it’s back to the drawing board — and back to defending corners.
