t is a measure of the quality of this
Tottenham Hotspur side that visiting teams
can arrive at Wembley in full knowledge of
where the danger lies, but leave having
been utterly unable to do anything about it.
We can be certain that Everton manager Sam
Allardyce will have had a plan for nullifying
Harry Kane, who broke yet another
goalscoring record here, and the brilliant Son
Heung-Min, who is in the form of his life. Yet
such is the class of Tottenham’s attacking
players that there was never any real hope of
it succeeding.
Yes, Everton made mistakes. And yes, there
were a handful of individuals who simply did
not look up to the required standard against
this level of opposition. But this was a
Tottenham side that bristled with speed and
power, and played with the sort of confidence
that one would expect after a run of seven
victories in nine games.
Son, who scored the first and created the
second, was almost unstoppable on the left,
while Dele Alli and Christian Eriksen bestrode
the space between Everton’s midfield and
defence as if they had conquered it on a
battlefield.
And then there was Kane, providing the
pointy finish at the end of all the flowery
build-up. His two goals here were his 97th
and 98th in the Premier League, taking him
above Teddy Sheringham as Tottenham’s
leading goalscorer in the competition.
By the time Eriksen had lashed in a wonderful
fourth, there was almost a sense of sympathy
for a filleted Everton outfit who, for the first
time since 1960, have lost their first three
fixtures of a calendar year.
