A first-half brace from Micky van de Ven inspired Tottenham Hotspur to a convincing 3–0 win over Everton, handing the hosts their first defeat at the newly built Hill Dickinson Stadium.

The Spurs captain struck twice from close range following well-worked corner routines, setting the tone for a one-sided encounter. Everton showed promise early on and thought they had equalised through O’Brien, but the goal was ruled out by VAR for offside — a turning point that drained the Toffees’ momentum.

In the second half, David Moyes’ men pushed forward in search of a comeback, but Guglielmo Vicario stood firm between the posts, producing a series of crucial saves to preserve Tottenham’s clean sheet.

The result was sealed late on when Pape Sarr headed home in the 89th minute, capping off a commanding performance for the guests. With the victory, Tottenham climbed to third in the Premier League table, while Everton slipped to 14th.
