Everton 0-3 Tottenham Hotspur: Post-match review, Stats, Key moments

Dive into Ladbrokes' post-match review of Everton 0-3 Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on Sunday, 26 October 2025, with stats, key moments and our take on the match.

Well, that was a tough one for Everton, wasn't it? The Toffees were hoping to turn their fortunes around at home, but Tottenham had other plans, walking away with a convincing 3-0 victory. It's a result that extends Tottenham's winning run away from home, while Everton's struggles continue, having now lost three of their last four games. The scoreline might not have been a complete shock given Everton's recent form, but the manner of the defeat will be a real concern for the fans.

Tottenham, on the other hand, looked sharp and clinical throughout the match. They've now bounced back from their loss to Aston Villa with a statement win, showing they're still very much in the race at the top of the table. Micky van de Ven was the star of the show, bagging a brace, which will no doubt boost his confidence going forward. For Everton, it's back to the drawing board as they look to halt this slide and find some consistency.

Looking at the stats, you might think the game was closer than the scoreline suggests. Everton actually had more possession at 53% compared to Tottenham's 47%, and they also edged the corner count with 9 to Tottenham's 8. However, it's the quality in the final third that really counts, and Tottenham's three assists to Everton's zero tells the real story of the match.

The successful dribbles percentage was nearly identical, with Everton at 43% and Tottenham at 42%, showing both teams were trying to play on the front foot. But it was Tottenham who made their chances count, and that's what ultimately made the difference. Everton's two yellow cards compared to Tottenham's zero also hint at a bit of frustration creeping in as the game slipped away from them.

The key moments in this match were all about Tottenham's clinical finishing. The first goal came early in the 19th minute, setting the tone for the rest of the game. Tottenham doubled their lead just before halftime in the 45th minute, which was a real blow to Everton's hopes of getting back into the match.

The final nail in the coffin came in the 89th minute, with Tottenham adding a third goal to seal the victory. These three goals, all scored at crucial times, were the defining moments of the game, showcasing Tottenham's ability to capitalise on their opportunities and ultimately secure the three points.

Everton lined up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Jordan Pickford in goal and a back four of Jake O'Brien, James Tarkowski, Michael Keane, and Vitaliy Mykolenko. In midfield, Idrissa Gueye and James Garner provided the base, with Iliman Ndiaye, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, and Jack Grealish supporting Beto up top.

There were no real surprises in the lineup, but the impact of the substitutions was minimal, with Everton making three changes during the game. Despite having some talented players on the pitch, no one was able to make a significant impact, and the team struggled to create any real chances. It's clear that Everton need to find a way to get more out of their attacking players if they're going to turn their form around.

Tottenham went with a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Guglielmo Vicario between the sticks and a backline of Pedro Porro, Kevin Danso, Micky van de Ven, and Djed Spence. João Palhinha and Rodrigo Bentancur anchored the midfield, with Brennan Johnson, Mohammed Kudus, and Xavi Simons supporting Randal Kolo Muani up front.

The standout performer was undoubtedly Micky van de Ven, who scored twice and was a rock at the back. Tottenham made four substitutions during the game, showing their depth and ability to maintain their intensity throughout. The lineup worked well, with everyone playing their part in a dominant performance that keeps them firmly in the hunt for the top spots.

Micky van de Ven is Ladbrokes' Man of the Match, and it's easy to see why. The defender scored two crucial goals, helping Tottenham secure a convincing victory. While he didn't contribute any assists, big chances created, or key passes, his impact on the game was undeniable, and he played a pivotal role in the team's success.
