Son Heung-min hits double as Tottenham fire four past Everton
A generous assessment of Everton’s efforts on an afternoon when Jordan Pickford turned into one of Tottenham’s most inventive players is that there was a brief period when they vaguely resembled a functioning football team.
The only problem with trying to stay positive, though, was that Sean Dyche’s side were already well on their way to another thrashing by the time they started to hint that they might be capable of stringing a few passes together. The direction of travel was clear after a first goal in Spurs colours for Yves Bissouma, who was on his best behaviour after being removed from the naughty step by Ange Postecoglou, and any sense of Everton fighting had to be tempered by the reality that they did not even pick up a booking despite being clobbered 4-0.
