Richarlison applies the Ex Law, but Tottenham draws with Everton in the Premier League
Tottenham drew 2-2 with Everton this Saturday (3), in the 23rd round of the Premier League, at Goodison Park. In a game against his former team, Richarlison was decisive once again and confirmed his great form, with two goals. In stoppage time, however, the Toffees snatched the equalizer.
Having been strong over the last month, Tottenham could leave the G4 of the Premier League at the end of the round. A victory for Aston Villa against Sheffield would already take Spurs out of the Champions League qualifying zone. On Everton’s side, the draw with the taste of victory took the team out of Z3 momentarily,

Pigeon flying high
In his best moment since arriving at Tottenham, Richarlison needed four minutes to apply the Law of Ex and open the scoring against Everton. The Spurs center forward appeared very well positioned in the area to finish Destiny Udogie’s assist with a touch.

Despite the early goal, the visitors did not take advantage of the momentum to expand. Everton gradually settled down on the field and created danger for Guglielmo Vicario. In keeping with the team’s style, the equalizer came via an aerial ball. A hit and run after a corner kick left Jack Harrison in a position to just push to score.
Unable to develop their offensive game, Tottenham depended on Richarlison’s inspiration to get back in front of the scoreboard before the break. The Brazilian received it from James Maddison on the edge of the area and hit it into Jordan Pickford’s corner. This was his 9th goal in the last 8 Premier League games.

Draw at the end
Ange Postecoglou’s team faced the second stage in score management mode. He only bothered Pickford a few times, and the lack of momentum took a heavy toll in the end. Again from the top, Everton scored the equalizer in stoppage time. Jarrad Brathwaite beat the defender and deflected a free kick inside. Equality was much better for the home team, who left the relegation zone.
