Tottenham extend record goalless run in 0-0 draw with Everton

Tottenham Hotspur extended a club-record start to the Premier League season by failing to score for a fourth consecutive match in a 0-0 draw with Everton on September 12. The result at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium left the team in 17th place with just two points from four games, marking the first time in the club's history it has gone four league matches without a goal. Despite dominating possession with 62% and registering 14 shots, Tottenham managed only two efforts on target and produced an expected goals total of just 0.64. Manager Roberto De Zerbi's side controlled the ball for long periods but struggled to create clear-cut opportunities against an organized Everton defense. Everton, who ended the match with 13 shots and three on target, created the more dangerous chances in the second half. Kiernan DewsburyHall and Brennan Johnson both missed significant opportunities to secure a win for the visitors. Johnson, a former Tottenham winger, sidefooted over from DewsburyHall's cut-back in the 75th minute in what was described as a guilt-edged chance.
