After a forgettable start at Brentford, Spurs gradually showed more positive signs and the performance against the closest opponent was enough to bring points.
However, Tottenham still could not take advantage of 59% of possession time and 11 shots to find a goal. Notably, no shots went on target. Roberto De Zerbi's team was therefore facing the risk of setting an undesirable milestone.
Spurs are one of the 3 teams that have not scored in the Premier League this season, alongside Aston Villa and Coventry City. If they continue to be powerless against Everton's goal, Spurs may for the first time in history not score in the opening 4 matches of the league.
On the other side, Everton could not add another striker in the final hours of the transfer window. However, Ainsley Maitland-Niles unexpectedly became a hero when scoring with a beautiful shot from a distance of 25m, helping this team win 1 point against Manchester United.
Maitland-Niles' goal will certainly bring great relief to CEO Angus Kinnear, who faces many calls for resignation after the summer transfer window. More importantly, Everton still maintains an unbeaten record since the beginning of the season in all competitions.
However, Everton's away form is still a worrying issue. This team has not won in the last 6 away games in the Premier League and had to rely on James Tarkowski's equalizer in injury time to win 1 point against Bournemouth.
Head-to-head history at Tottenham's stadium is also not on Everton's side. They have lost all 5 recent away games against Spurs in the Premier League.
After the 0-4 defeat last season, Everton is also facing the risk of losing to Tottenham for 3 consecutive matches without scoring a goal, something that has never happened in the club's history.
