Everton’s stubbornness won them a dramatic point, which could prove valuable in their relegation scrap. And the fact they won against an in-form Tottenham side will give them a lift in spirits.Rejuvenated striker Richarlison scored both Tottenham’s goals against his former club. The Brazilian reminded Everton fans of their club’s poor decisions over the past several years, but not even his heroics were enough to give Ange Postecglou what would be their second win of the week. Nine goals for Richarlison in his last eight Premier League games. That’s compared to just two in his previous 39 league games since joining Spurs.🔥Newcastle: ⚽️⚽️Nottingham Forest: ⚽️Everton: ⚽️Brighton: ❌Bournemouth: ⚽️Manchester United: ⚽️Brentford: ⚽️Everton: ⚽️⚽️ pic.twitter.com/hdjKEjMwXr— Ben Jacobs (@JacobsBen) February 3, 2024 Stuck in the Premier League’s bottom three, the Toffees are left to fear for their future and wonder why have their best players gone to pastures new. Thankfully, those who remained have a fighting spirit to make up for their obvious lack of quality.
Richy was very polite and apologetic as he scored two first-half goals. The Brazilian saluted the home fans at his former home and bowed his head but that came as little consolation.
Sean Dyche’s team fought bravely but was left to rue their chronic inability to turn chances into goals. Battling for their life on Saturday afternoon, they scored two very “ugly” goals through Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Jarrad Branthwaite to force an unlikely point.
Poor investment, lousy transfers, terrible decisions in the board room, and an owner, Farhad Moshiri, who has little connection with reality, are sins for which Everton is being punished this season.
If they stay up and live to play Premier League games at their new stadium, they will have to thank Dyche for collecting points playing with a limited squad.ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE – MATCHDAY 23SaturdayEverton – Tottenham 2-2 (1-2)/Harrison 30, Branthwaite 90+4 – Richarlison 4, 41/18:00: (1.70) Brighton (4.00) Crystal Palace (4.80)18:00: (3.00) Burnley (3.45) Fulham (2.50)18:00: (1.43) Newcastle (4.60) Luton (7.25)20:30: (5.10) Sheffield Utd (4.00) Aston Villa (1.65)Sunday17:00: (1.70) Chelsea (3.90) Wolverhampton (5.50)17:00: (1.75) Bournemouth (3.60) Nott.Forest (4.90)17:00: (1.67) Man.Utd.
