Van de Ven raids Everton's home with ruthless double

Tottenham's aerial prowess under Thomas Frank brought Everton back down to earth at Hill Dickinson Stadium.

- Andy Hunter

Three headed goals condemned Everton to a first defeat at their new home and elevated Spurs to third in the Premier League. A correction of their home form and Frank's team can contemplate staying up there.

The disconnect at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium stands in stark contrast to the ruthless efficiency and resilience of Spurs away from home.

Victory on the banks of the River Mersey made it 13 points from a possible 15 on the road. The outstanding Micky van de Ven led the way.

Captain in the absence of Cristian Romero, the Spurs defender made it five goals in 13 appearances this season by converting two first-half corners. The substitute Pape Matar Sarr banished any prospect of an Everton recovery with another close-range header in the 89th minute. Given the glaring absence of a quality striker in David Moyes's squad, the prospect of an Everton comeback always appeared remote despite the intelligent probings of Iliman Ndiaye, James Garner, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Jack Grealish.
