Everton stun Tottenham 3-2 as pressure mounts on Postecoglou

David Moyes’ Everton secured a thrilling 3-2 victory over Tottenham at Goodison Park, piling further pressure on under-fire Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou.

The Toffees, boasting the second-worst attack in the league before this game, capitalized on Tottenham’s defensive frailties, racing to a stunning 3-0 lead at halftime. Goals from Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Iliman Ndiaye, and an Archie Gray own goal exposed Spurs’ shambolic backline.

Calvert-Lewin ended his Premier League goal drought—spanning 1,288 minutes—by twisting Archie Gray twice before slotting past goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky. Ndiaye added a second with a spectacular solo effort, and Gray inadvertently turned a James Tarkowski header into his own net in first-half stoppage time.

Despite a second-half revival, which saw Dejan Kulusevski and Richarlison score late goals, Everton held firm to claim a vital win, moving four points clear of the relegation zone.

For Spurs, this marked a seventh loss in their last 10 league matches and their 12th Premier League defeat of the season. The travelling supporters voiced their frustration, directing chants at Chairman Daniel Levy rather than Postecoglou.

Meanwhile, Moyes celebrated his first win in his second stint as Everton boss, delivering a performance reminiscent of his successful first spell at the club. The victory lifts Everton to 16th in the Premier League table, leaving Tottenham just four points above them in 15th and facing relegation fears.
