Everton's 3-2 victory over Tottenham Hotspur at Goodison Park was shaped by an explosive first half, particularly the impact of Idrissa Gueye. His two assists catalyzed Everton’s early dominance, setting up goals for Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Iliman Ndiaye. The fast-paced and coordinated attack allowed Everton to capitalize on defensive lapses from Spurs. Gueye's contributions were critical, highlighting his role in orchestrating Everton's midfield efficiency.

Spurs struggled to contain Everton's attacking dynamism, conceding a third goal through an own goal by Archie Gray. Despite Tottenham's stronger second-half presence, led by goals from Dejan Kulusevski and Richarlison assisted by Mikey Moore, they couldn't completely overturn the deficit. Tottenham's late surge showcased improved synchronization in their forward line, though it lacked the finishing needed to secure a draw.

Statistically, the match illustrated Everton's precise offensive execution with seven shots on target, slightly surpassing Tottenham's six. Despite Spurs enjoying more corner kicks, Everton's defensive composure during set pieces mitigated much of Tottenham’s threat. Everton's moderate yet effective use of offside traps, drawing Spurs offside twice, showcased strategic defensive awareness. The equal number of fouls (14 each) and yellow cards (Everton's 2 to Tottenham's 1) signified a competitive but controlled physical battle, with neither side disciplined by red cards. Overall, Everton's early prowess and tactical midfield dominance were decisive in thwarting Tottenham’s comeback efforts.
