Big match for Everton for this 22nd day of the Premier League. At home on Sunday against Tottenham, the Toffees and their Senegalese won 3-2, with a great Iliman Ndiaye, scorer, and a precious Gana Guèye.
On the 22nd day of the Premier League, Tottenham were away to Everton. For this match between two eternal rivals, it was the colts of new coach David Moyes who dictated their law in front of a helpless Spurs team. The first moments of this meeting were marked by the multiplication of offensive actions by the locals. In their determination, they managed to open the scoring in the 13th minute thanks to Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s first goal… in four months.
Launched by the Senegalese Idrissa Gana Guèye, the English striker did not tremble to end his series of 16 matches without finding the net in the championship.
Then came the 30th minute where we will witness the action of the match. 45m from the opposing goals, Iliman Ndiaye, the other Senegalese international, with the ball at his feet, pierces the defense of his compatriot Pape Matar Sarr’s team, with a leg pass followed by a left foot sequence which shoots the goalkeeper opponent. The Toffees had just made the break (2-0) following a second assist from Guèye.
Before half-time, Everton pushed forward to complete a first-half goal-fest by forcing an own goal from Archie Gray (in added time). The new manager and his men thus go into the break with a 3-goal advantage.
-Returning from the locker room, Ange Postecoglu’s men attacked their opponents to try to get back into the game. But faced with a resistant block, the latter were unable to find the fault. It took the 77th minute to see Dejan Kulusevski reduce the score to 3-1. In added time, Racharlisson scared the locals by allowing his team to come to 3-2 in the 92nd minute. This was still not enough to reverse the trend.
With this victory, Everton moves closer to their opponent of the evening in the standings with now 20 points in 16th place. For their part, no movement for the Spurs who remain immobile in 15th position with 24 units.
Serie A: Scorer and passer, Boulaye Dia carries Lazio
