Everton defeats Tottenham, boosts survival hopes

Everton achieved a crucial 3-2 victory over Tottenham Hotspur at Goodison Park, marking David Moyes' first win since returning as manager. The win not only ended a disappointing run for Everton, who had previously gone 12 games with only one win, but also intensified Spurs' struggles, extending their winless streak to six matches. Everton capitalized on Tottenham's defensive weaknesses, scoring three goals in the first half, including an own goal from Archie Gray. Despite a late fightback from Spurs, who scored twice in the final minutes, Everton held on to secure the win, moving four points clear of the relegation zone. This outcome puts further pressure on Tottenham and their manager Ange Postecoglou, as they continue to underperform in the league. Meanwhile, Nottingham Forest also secured a win against Southampton, solidifying their position in the upper half of the standings as they remain level on points with Arsenal.
