Tottenham Hotspur played out a 0-0 draw with Everton to continue their 360 minute run without a goal in the Premier League.
It is back-to-back goalless draws for Tottenham Hotspur, who remain without a single win and without a single goal scored four games into the 2026/27 Premier League season.
You can have 11 individual brilliant players on the pitch, but they will not become a team unless they know how to play with each other, which has been exactly the case with Spurs so far.
Roberto De Zerbi was without both of his first-choice full-backs through injury in Pedro Porro and Destiny Udogie, but on the brighter side, James Maddison made the matchday squad.
The Tottenham head coach was also a little critical of Mathys Tel after last weekend’s goalless draw against Nottingham Forest, so unsurprisingly, he was benched in favour of Dominic Solanke, who made his first start for the club since April.
Let’s have a look at our Tottenham 0-0 Everton match report.
First half: Tottenham 0-0 Everton
Spurs started brilliantly from the whistle, exactly how you would expect a Roberto De Zerbi side to start games; pressing high, always looking to move the ball forward quickly and winning it back almost immediately.
Savio was an absolute delight to watch, creating the most chances in the game (4) and completing the most dribbles (4), most of which actually came during that short-lived high-intensity opening spell. The Brazilian wasn’t much involved after that, unfortunately.
Jan Paul van Hecke played a part in Tottenham’s first big chances, first firing over the bar from close range after Andy Robertson’s free kick, before playing a well-timed line breaking pass to Mateus Fernandes inside the Everton box. The Portuguese midfielder, however, let himself down with some unnecessary extra touches.
Elsewhere, Robertson was pretty much left isolated on the left-hand side, probably made worse by the non existent left winger. But whenever the Scot did get the ball, he put in some really good curling crosses into the box. Everton were equally good at dealing with them, though, repeatedly clearing away the danger.
Antonin Kinsky had very little to do throughout the first half, although he did have to make one good save to push away an awkward bouncing free kick from James Garner before the break.
Second half: Tottenham 0-0 Everton
Despite all that danger in the first half, Spurs had failed to register a single shot on target, but Mateus Fernandes ended that run straight after the break with an effort that at least put an end to the unwanted statistic.
As the game went on, Spurs became shakier for no apparent reason; giving away possession cheaply and not showing the same aggression to win it back that they had during that opening spell.
They almost paid the price when Kinsky gave the ball away to Kiernan Dewsbury Hall on the edge of the Spurs box, but the Czech goalkeeper made amends immediately by denying him in the subsequent one-on-one opportunity. Apart from that one moment, Kinsky actually had a decent game.
Former Spurs man Brennan Johnson received a warm welcome from the home crowd, but he could have done some serious damage with his last touch of the game. Dewsbury Hall found him inside the box, and Johnson fired first-time but sent his effort over the bar when, on any other day, he would have converted.
Spurs came closest to scoring when James Maddison intercepted a Jordan Pickford pass late in the game before Lucas Bergvall was denied a wonderful bottom corner goal by an incredible save from the Everton goalkeeper.
History was made at the full-time whistle, with Tottenham going 4 Premier League games without scoring for the first time in their history.
