Alli 4/10, Kane 5/10 as Spurs make miserable start to Premier League campaign

Tottenham Hotspur's Premier League campaign got off to a miserable start as they were beaten 1-0 by Everton in their own backyard on Sunday night. The one and only goal came from Dominic Calvert-Lewin who headed home from a free kick as Carlo Ancelotti got the better of his old friend Jose Mourinho in the capital.

Positives

It definitely felt as if Spurs' plan was to gift Everton most of the possession, and they never really seemed to panic even when they did get in behind the back four. They had a tendency to dispossess the opposition in key areas and even though it didn't last long, there was a sustained period of urgency midway through the first half that fans would have liked to see across the whole game.
