Idrissa Gana Gueye: Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur, two giants of English football who have struggled heavily this season, were handed heavy losses by the hands of Brighton and Hove Albion and Everton, respectively in game week 22 of the Premier League on Sunday.
David Moyes marked the start of his second tenure as Everton boss with a dramatic 3-2 win over Tottenham Hotspur at Goodison Park, securing their first home victory over Spurs in the Premier League since his previous spell in charge over 12 years ago. A first-half blitz from Everton, including a brace of goals from Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Iliman Ndiaye, and an own goal from Archie Gray, gave the Toffees a commanding 3-0 lead at the break. Despite late strikes from Dejan Kulusevski and Richarlison, Everton held firm to take all three points.
The hosts dominated early, with Jesper Lindstrom and Vitalii Mykolenko impressing as wing-backs in a tactical reshuffle by Moyes. After a bright start, Everton seized control on 13 minutes when Calvert-Lewin, combining with Idrissa Gana Gueye, coolly slotted past Spurs goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky. Moments later, Ndiaye doubled the lead with a superb solo effort, leaving Radu Dragusin trailing before finishing emphatically. Everton’s third came from a Lindstrøm corner, met by James Tarkowski, whose header was inadvertently helped into his own net by Gray.
