Captain Son Heung-min (Tottenham)'s determination was also useless. Tottenham is frantically swayed against a lower-ranked team that must be beaten.
Tottenham finished the first half 0-3 with own goals from Dominic Calvert Lewin in the 13th minute of the first half, Iliman Ndiaye in the 30th minute, and Archie Gray in the 7th minute of extra time in the 22nd round of the EPL 2024-2025 season at Goodison Park in Liverpool, England on the 19th (Korea time).
Tottenham (24 points), which has lost one and lost four games in the last five league games and fell to 15th place with its worst performance, will be closer to the relegation zone if it fails to turn it around in the 45 minutes of the second half, and Tottenham manager Engie Postecoglou's hard-won public opinion will inevitably heat up.
Coach Postecoglou pulled out the 'nail' tactic to put Son Heung-min at the top in a situation where his main striker Dominic Solanke was injured. Dejan Kulusevski and James Madison were located next to Son Heung-min.
Pedro Porro, Pape Sarr, Lucas Beribal and Jed Spence made up the midfield, while Archie Gray, Radu Dragusin and Ben Davies made up the three-backs. Antonin Kinski defended the goal.
Ang Min-hyuk, who joined Tottenham in earnest on the 1st, was included in the replacement entry for the second time after the Carabao Cup against Liverpool and the first time in the EPL. Depending on the situation in the second half, there is room for a chance to debut. When Yang Min-hyuk makes his debut, he will be the 16th and youngest Korean debutant.

Everton, with David Moyes at the helm again, put Calvert Lewin at the top and set up a second line of attack with Yesfer Linström, Abdullaye Doucoure and Iliman Ndiaye. Orell Mangala and Idrissa Gueye kept the midfield.
Vitaly Mykolenko, Jared Branswaite, James Tacowski and Jake O'Brien are the four backs, while Jordan Pickford wears goalkeeper gloves.
Home team Everton boosted their momentum from the beginning. In the 7th minute, Tottenham goalkeeper Kinski hit a sharp right-footed mid-range shot from Linstrom. Tottenham were stumped by Everton's strong forward pressure. In the end, there is a dead letter. Thirteen minutes, the pass was blocked in the defensive area. Gueye stabbed a pass to Calvert Lewin, who was running toward the gate, and Lewin, who caught the ball, opened the goal with a calm play that stole the timing of Tottenham's defense.
Tottenham launched a counterattack. In the 24th minute, Kulusevski, who dug into the half-space, checked Son Heung-min's position and stabbed the cutback. Son Heung-min's right foot shot, which took a no-mark shooting chance at the center of the penalty box, was held in the goalkeeper's arms and swallowed the disappointment.
In the 26th minute, Kinski once again hit Mangala's right footed shot to save his team from the brink of extra runs.
In the 27th minute, Son Heung-min penetrated to the left of the opponent's gate in a counterattack and attempted a left-footed shot, but was blocked by the goalkeeper. Son lost two chances.
Behind the opportunity came a crisis. In the 30th minute, Ndiaye beat Tottenham's defense with a huge individual play and entered the box, and a left-footed shot aimed at the top of the goal led to the goal. In the 7th minute of extra time in the second half, Calvert Lewin's header hit Gray's body and led to an own goal. Everton finished the first half with three goals ahead. It is time for coach Postecoglou to do his trick.
