Tottenham's Goal Drought Continues in Goalless Draw With Everton, Pressure Mounts on De Zerbi

Tottenham extended their miserable start to the Premier League season, held to a 0-0 draw by Everton at home to remain without a league goal through four matches, a run stretching well over seven hours of football and intensifying scrutiny on head coach Roberto De Zerbi.

Spurs dominated large spells of possession but continued to lack a final product, with boos ringing around the stadium as the frustration of the home crowd boiled over. It marks the first time since 1975 that Tottenham have failed to score in their opening three league matches, a run now extended to four following this latest stalemate, and leaves them one of only a handful of Premier League sides yet to find the net this season.

Everton, by contrast, remain unbeaten in five matches across all competitions, having drawn 2-2 with Manchester United in dramatic fashion the previous weekend courtesy of Ainsley Maitland-Niles' stoppage-time strike. With a heavy summer outlay having so far failed to translate into goals, pressure is mounting on De Zerbi to find a solution before Tottenham's early-season struggles become a deeper crisis.
