- Tottenham drew 0-0 at home to Everton, remaining winless and goalless through four Premier League games — the first time Spurs have failed to score in any of their opening four league matches of a season, per the report.
- The result extended Spurs' goalless Premier League run past 400 minutes, with De Zerbi's side managing just two shots on target and an xG of 0.64 while being booed off at full-time.
- Brennan Johnson, facing his former club, blazed a great second-half chance over the bar, and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall was handed a near-open goal by Spurs keeper Antonin Kinsky but shot straight back at him.
- Jamie Redknapp branded the run "absolutely diabolical" given Spurs' £300m summer spend, noting a visible disconnect between fans and players — ironic cheers greeted Mateus Fernandes' first Spurs shot on target.
- Roberto De Zerbi was involved in a touchline exchange at full-time with substitute Mathys Tel, publicly coaching him on body shape and insisting the striker must "look at the goal" rather than drift wide.
- Everton maintained their unbeaten start under David Moyes, who praised his side's resilience while conceding: "We didn't play well enough today when we had the ball."
- The match was the first goalless draw at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the Premier League (140th league game there) and Spurs' first 0-0 home stalemate in the competition since September 2017.
Why it matters: Tottenham's £300m summer rebuild under Roberto De Zerbi has produced zero goals and zero wins through four league games — an unprecedented drought the club hasn't seen in 20 years. With Dominic Solanke logging just 19 touches as the only fit No. 9, Redknapp's pointed questions about midfield balance and striker positioning now define the Italian's early tenure at Spurs.
