Tottenham won another important victory in the Premier League this Saturday. Hosting Everton at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the team of Richarlison, Kane and company confirmed their favoritism beating their rivals 2-0, thanks to goals from Harry Kane, from the penalty, and Hojbjerg.
This was Tottenham’s seventh victory in ten Premier League games. The North London club is enjoying a good start to the season and their main objective is to fight for the league title, which has not been won since the 1960-61 season.
Richarlison hobbles the lawn
Just five minutes into the second half, Tottenham suffered a weight loss. Richarlison went to the ground alleging pain in his left calf, received medical attention, but could not continue in the match, being replaced by Bissouma.
Richarlison’s departure sparked a warning, as the striker has been a starter for the Brazilian national team and has his call-up for the World Cup taken for granted. An injury, depending on the severity, at this point could take him out of World Cup contention.
Richarlison was a starter in seven of Tottenham’s last eight games of the season and is already considered one of the main pieces of the squad led by Antonio Conte, alongside Harry Kane and Son.
How is the table?
With the victory, Tottenham remains firm in the G4 of the English Championship, more precisely in third place, with 23 points, behind leaders Arsenal, who have 24, and vice-leader Manchester City, with 23. Both teams enter on the field this Sunday and can amplify their differences for Spurs.
Everton remains at the bottom of the table and their main objective is to distance themselves from the relegation zone to start thinking about something bigger in the English Championship.
Tottenham will return to the field next Wednesday, when they will face Manchester United at Old Trafford, a very tough stop, but which is also the perfect opportunity for the team to show that it really has the ability to dream big this season. Everton visit Newcastle, also on Wednesday.
