The Premier League table makes for very good reading for all connected with Tottenham at present. Following Saturday evening's 2-0 victory over Everton in north London, Spurs sit third having won seven of their opening 10 league games in 2022/23.
Going into the encounter behind Arsenal and Man City anyway, Antonio Conte's men have at least upped the pressure on the top two ahead of their fixtures on Sunday against Leeds United and Liverpool respectively. Making it three wins on the spin in all competitions, the Lilywhites had trouble breaking a resolute Everton down in the first half but they were much better after the break.
Taking the lead through Harry Kane's penalty after Spurs' No.10 was brought down in the box by England teammate Jordan Pickford, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg sealed the three points with a well-taken goal four minutes from time. Amid a number of positives to come from the victory, there was one major negative as Richarlison came off with a calf injury five minutes after the restart.
