- Grealish should probably score in the second minute.
- Their opener comes off the shoulder of their attacker and lands perfectly on their guy’s head to nod in.
- Our ‘equaliser’ was VAR at its nitpicky worst. And won’t be given countless times.
- Their second followed a push on Pickford that’s no less egregious than our disallowed effort.
- We then saw Vicario make two or three very good stops. In contrast, Pickford really only had the shot from Richarlison (following Tarkowski’s error) to deal with.
- Arguably could’ve had a penalty (I didn’t think it was but others do).
That’s a lot of bounces of the ball that didn’t quite go in our favour. On another day, there’s enough to feel we’d have taken at least a point.

I didnt think we played that bad, certainly no different from games we have won this season. Unlucky / good saves with the chances we had.
Disappointing for any Everton team to lose goals from corners, once they had the goals Spurs managed the game. We take our chances its a different outcome. Critical we get a PL ready striker in Jan and find a system that creates them chances.
