AI summary
Tottenham drew 0-0 with Everton on Saturday, extending their goalless streak to four league games—a record low for the club at the start of a season. After spending £300m on squad overhaul, Spurs have managed only two shots on target across their opening fixtures. Everton, unbeaten and full value for the draw, created the better chances through Thierno Barry and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall but could not convert. Tottenham's anxiety was palpable; the home crowd's pessimism audible from before kick-off. Injuries to right-back Porro and left-back Udogie compounded De Zerbi's problems as his side failed to break down a resolute Everton defence.
