Tottenham Hotspur remain without a Premier League goal after four matches this season, following a 0-0 draw at home to Everton, a run without precedent at the start of a top-flight campaign in the club's history. The result piles further pressure on Spurs, who spent around £300m rebuilding their squad over the summer, and comes after David Moyes's unbeaten Everton side created the better second-half chances and arguably deserved to win. The home crowd's frustration was evident, with booing at full time reflecting a wider unease that has persisted despite the club's survival heroics against the same opponents last season.

Spurs managed only two shots on target, an improvement on last weekend's goalless draw at Nottingham Forest where they had none, with Mateus Fernandes's effort early in the second half met by sarcastic cheers from home fans. Everton, missing key personnel through injury on the Spurs side (Pedro Porro and Destiny Udogie), created the more dangerous openings via Thierno Barry, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and former Tottenham winger Brennan Johnson, but were denied by good goalkeeping and profligate finishing. Tottenham's home league record has been poor for some time, with just one win in their last 35 matches at this venue stretching back to November 2024 (P35 W5 D10 L20).
