Kane injured? Why that proves Everton are a better team than Spurs
Why Everton are a more balanced side
Everton came into the Spurs game off the back of a drab and ultimately disappointing 0-0 draw with Brighton. They lacked any cutting edge in that game, but they reacted brilliantly on Friday evening.
Their passing was incisive, their play creative and if it wasn’t for multiple mix-ups between Michael Keane and Mason Holgate, they would have come away with all three points.
Their impressive performance came despite the absence of talisman Dominic Calvert-Lewin, as well as key players Abdoulaye Docoure, Andre Gomes and Yerry Mina.

This was a side ravaged by injuries, but Carlo Ancelotti still had this to say to Sky Sports after the game:
"We played a good game. It was probably the best we played at home this season. We were unlucky. It is a disappointing result but not performance. We have more difficulties to reach Europe but we have to keep fighting. We still have possibility playing like tonight."
The way that Everton dealt with their injury setbacks is indicative of a better all-round team. Spurs may have better individuals, but take one man out of their team and the collective quality drops off considerably.
If that one man decides to leave in the summer, that could signal the end of Tottenham’s lofty ambitions.
