“Everton fans have last laugh”- Carragher’s Pre-Everton vs Tottenham Prediction Backfires Hilariously. Fans Are Loving It
Everton fans are celebrating after Jamie Carragher’s comments ahead of the club’s match against Tottenham on January 19th.
The Goodison Park faithful have had a long-standing back-and-forth with the former Liverpool defender due to his ties to the Reds and his early departure from Everton.
This history is why supporters often take his remarks, especially those regarding the Toffees, with a grain of salt. Following Everton’s 3-2 victory over Spurs, fans feel vindicated.
Before the match, on The Overlap, Jill Scott predicted a 3-2 win for David Moyes’ side, which was met with skepticism. Carragher responded, dismissing the possibility by stating, “Everton can’t be involved in a 3-2,” before he and Gary Neville settled on a 1-1 draw prediction for the game.
However, some fans may not realize that, despite their relegation struggles, Everton are now only four points behind Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham in the Premier League standings. Given Carragher’s dismissive stance before the match, his prediction now seems particularly off the mark.
Everton’s goals from Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Iliman Ndiaye, and an Archie Gray own goal in the first half, followed by second-half strikes from Dejan Kulusevski and Richarlison for Spurs, were not enough to prevent the Toffees from securing the win.
Goodison Park’s volatile atmosphere, known for dramatic twists, certainly delivered in this instance, and the victory also coincides with a turning point for both Moyes and the Friedkin Group on Merseyside, while the pressure on Tottenham’s Daniel Levy to sack Postecoglou grows.
In hindsight, Carragher’s dismissal of Everton’s chances now seems premature, and the outcome of the match is a reminder that anything can happen at Goodison. Meanwhile, in other Everton news, Neal Maupay has spoken out after making controversial remarks about the club.
