Tottenham bounced back from their draw against Leicester City in emphatic fashion with a thumping 4-0 win over Everton.
The biggest surprise of the Premier Leagueโs opening weekend was Spurs dropping points to newly-promoted Leicester despite dominating the Foxes in the first half.
But Ange Postecoglouโs side responded to their critics superbly with a 4-0 win over Everton at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
Yves Bissouma opened the scoring with a thunderous effort in the first half and Heung-Min Son scored either side of Cristian Romeroโs towering header to cap off a dominant performance.
Tottenham were impressive going forward but also looked much more organised at the back with Romero and Micky van de Ven keeping their first clean sheet of the season.Tottenhamโs attackers will hog the headlines after Saturdayโs win, but Ian Wright was quick to praise Van de Ven for an โunbelievableโ moment against Everton.
The Dutch centre-back, who joined Tottenham for ยฃ43million last summer, showcased his lightning-quick pace during a second-half counter-attack.With Spurs already 3-0 up, Van de Ven burst through the centre of the pitch with the ball and ended up assisting Son for his second goal of the game.
It was a moment that stood out for Ian Wright, โEveryone was on the attack and he was on the edge of his box there,โ he told Premier League productions .
โIf you look at all the Everton players, the ones in front of him and beside him, none of them get near him.
โLook, none of them get in front of him to make a challenge. Thatโs just pace and ability. Itโs unbelievable, what he has done there, so impressive, so impressive.โVan de Ven enjoyed a brilliant debut campaign last season and he is quickly forming a formidable partnership with Romero at the heart of Tottenhamโs defence.Romero impressed over the summer with Argentina, where he lifted the Copa America trophy having only conceded one goal in the entire tournament.
With Pedro Porro and Destiny Udogie either side of them, Spurs now have one of the best defensive lines in the entire Premier League.
