The news that Everton brushed Tottenham aside at Goodison Park yesterday was not that surprising, especially considering Spurs’ recent form and a complete breakdown of Ange Postecoglou’s tactics, caused (to some extent, at least) by as many as 11 injured players.Spurs choke on a hard toffee, as Nottingham’s pursuit of the Reds continuesHowever, another piece of information regarding the duel between the Toffees and Spurs is mindblowing – Everton haven’t beaten the visitors from North London in Liverpool since December 9, 2012! Until yesterday’s triumph, of course. The reasons for that terrible winless spell are various, but one particular quickly catches the eye – David Moyes.Everton have won a Premier League game against Tottenham at Goodison Park for the first time since December 2012. WDLDDLLDDDDDWDavid Moyes was in charge for both of them. 😀 pic.twitter.com/8DDyA7daRG— Squawka (@Squawka) January 19, 2025 The duel from 13 years ago was the Scot’s last against Tottenham on Everton’s bench, as he took over Man United in July 2013 following Sir Alex Ferguson’s departure. Since Moyes left, as many as six managers have tried to note a victory over Spurs at Goodison Park (Roberto Martinez, Ronald Koeman, Marco Silva, Carlo Ancelotti, Rafael Benitez, and Sean Dyche), and none of them succeeded!In a world where you can be anything, be Dyche: a few days after the sacking, he hails his replacementAnd then he returned. To save Everton from relegation and, who knows, perhaps get them back to the Premier League TOP 6 and the European competitions, where the Toffees were almost regular during his time. After all, he managed to defeat Spurs at home after 4,424 days. Why wouldn’t he accomplish these other things as well?ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE – MATCHDAY 22SaturdayNewcastle – Bournemouth 1-4 (1-2)/Guimaraes 25 – Kluivert 6, 44, 90+2, Kerkez 90+6/Brentford – Liverpool 0-2 (0-0)/Darwin 90+1, 90+3/Leicester – Fulham 0-2 (0-0)/Smith Rowe 48, Traore 68/West Ham – Crystal Palace 0-2 (0-0)/Mateta 48, 89 pen/Arsenal – Aston Villa 2-2 (1-0)/Havertz 35, Martinelli 55 – Tielemans 60, Watkins 68/SundayEverton – Tottenham 3-2 (3-0)/Calvert-Lewin 13, Ndiaye 30, Gray 45+7 og – Kulusevski 77, Richarlison 90+2/Man.Utd. – Brighton 1-3 (1-1)/Fernandes 23 pen – Minteh 5, Mitoma 60, Rutter 76/Nott.Forest – Southampton 3-2 (3-0)/Anderson 11, Hudson-Odoi 28, Wood 41 – Bednarek 60, Onuachu 90+1/Ipswich – Man.
