Tottenham Hotspur made a strong statement in their first Premier League home game of the season with a commanding 4-0 victory over Everton, signaling that Ange Postecoglou means serious business.
The match saw Tottenham dominate, and while Everton were thoroughly outplayed, the final score could have been even more lopsided, as Spurs’ high-pressure approach overwhelmed Sean Dyche’s team.
Heung-min Son shone in his return to the center-forward position, particularly with the £65 million summer signing Dominic Solanke sidelined due to an ankle injury sustained in training. Son’s performance, with goals in both halves, demonstrated his continued excellence as one of the Premier League’s top forwards.
Should Solanke be unavailable for the upcoming match against Newcastle United, fans can take solace in Son’s early-season form. Equally reassuring is the strong defensive showing, especially from Cristian Romero.
Romero added a goal to his impressive defensive display with a header in the 77th minute, outmuscling James Tarkowski to score. His defensive performance was pivotal, showcasing his strength and technical skill.
Micky van de Ven also played well, but Romero was the standout player, taking more touches than anyone else on the field and delivering a commanding all-around performance. Football.london’s Alasdair Gold rated Romero 9/10, noting his influential game, including a powerful header that capped his milestone 100th appearance.
Although there is still a long way to go in the season, Postecoglou’s Tottenham team has started with confidence, and if Romero maintains his current form, the team’s impressive start could well continue throughout the year.
