Tottenham Hotspur became the first team to claim a victory at the Hill Dickinson Stadium and in the end, it was by comfortable margins.
However, not every player had their best game, despite the impressive result. Here are the three winners and losers from the joint biggest Tottenham Hotspur win this season.
Micky van de Ven scores again for Tottenham
What a signing Micky van de Ven has been since he switched the Volkswagen Arena for the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium! The Dutchman reinforced this against Everton, earning a higher rating on Fotmob than any other player.
There was plenty of talk over the summer about Luka Vuskovic over the summer due to his ability to score goals as a centre-back. Well he might have some competition on that front when he returns next summer, because van de Ven already has five goals across all tournaments this season.
The 24-year-old scored two excellent headers from corner kicks and wore the captain’s armband once more. One standout moment was when he took no nonsense from Jack Grealish, who ran over to shove him in the back. Van de Ven certainly looks like a strong and passionate leader who will not back down.
Kevin Danso was solid for Spurs
Questions over the quality of Kevin Danso have been asked this season due to a few shaky performances. However, Spurs have now kept clean sheets in half the matches where he has started this season.
The Austrian was superb against Everton and did an excellent job covering for Cristian Romero, who remains out through injury.
MORE SPURS STORIES
According to Squawka, Danso made 18 clearances on Sunday, the most by a Tottenham player in any Premier League game since Jan Vertonghen against Burnley in December 2016. He won all his duels and did not concede a single free kick, in what was a really promising performance.
Pape Matar Sarr is a Tottenham superstar
Pape Matar Sarr was one of the biggest talking points in the builup to the Everton fixture, because Thomas Frank kept benching him, despite his strong start to the campaign.
The midfielder was handed little more than 10 minutes against the Toffees, but he made every one of them count and scored the goal which put the victory beyond doubt.
Sarr played a key role in the attacking move which led to the goal and made a good run into the box, where Richarlison was able to find him with a pinpoint header. He is definitely due a start when Spurs travel to Newcastle in the Carabao Cup.
Now, let’s take a look at our three losers from Everton 0-3 Tottenham…
Xavi Simons must take the chances he is given
Xavi Simons was back in the starting lineup on Sunday and it makes sense considering Tottenham splurged £51m to bring him to North London. However, his performances up to this point have not justified him being selected by Frank.
The 22-year-old played a pass which could have proved costly in the first half, as it was intercepted and allowed Everton to get through on goal. He also ruined a promising counter attack with a pass which was equally as bad.
Simons failed to make any key passes, successful dribbles or land any shots on target, in what was yet another underwhelming performance.
No Instagram post for Djed Spence
Anyone who follows Djed Spence on social media will know how much he enjoys mocking wingers when he gets the better of them. This time around, he kept things humble with an Instagram story which celebrated three points and a clean sheet.
Spence had the fewest number of touches by any outfield player who remained on the pitch for the entire match against Everton.
The England international did not defend well against Iliman Ndiaye, despite what a clean sheet might suggest. In fact, he only won one of his seven ground duels throughout the match, a 14 per cent success rate which makes for grim reading.
Radu Dragusin may struggle to find Tottenham chances
Radu Dragusin is likely to have been out for almost a year by the time he returns from injury, but if truth be told, he has not been missed by Spurs.
This was especially true yesterday as Danso impressed with his display in defence. If the 27-year-old continues to play at that level, it is difficult to see where Dragusin fits in when he does eventually make his comeback.
For now, Danso will certainly be seen as a strong backup option to Romero. Plus, it is possible Tottenham will look to sign a new centre-back in January and that could be the nail in the coffin for the player who has never really got going in North London.
