Marco Silva says that it was a really bad day for Everton
Everton were at the receiving end of rampant fireworks as Tottenham Hotspur ran riot at the Goodison Park and claimed three points with a comprehensive 6-2 victory. Everton opened the scoring early in the first half through Theo Walcott but Spurs soon turned the tables and emerged as comprehensive winners at the end.
Harry Kane and Heung-min Son were the stars of the show with two goals apiece while Moussa Sissoko, Christian Eriksen and Dele Alli also impressed for the Lilywhites. The result marked an unwanted trend in Marco Silva‘s managerial career in the Premier League.
Spurs had previously inflicted a 7-1 home defeat on Silva’s Hull City in May 2017.
Silva’s Watford then lost 6-0 at home to Manchester City four months later, and the Portuguese accepted there were few positives to take from his latest humiliation.
“Really bad afternoon for us, really bad result for us, for our fans,” he said. “We have to realise why and we will realise for sure.
“We started well the match, it started really balanced. We know how they are strong in counter-attack and it started as we planned it and we scored early.
“After we made the first mistake during the match when they equalised, the game changed completely.
“We lost many things in our behaviour and our organisation and in this level we cannot do that.
“At half-time, we changed something in our tactical behaviour. I told them we cannot concede any more because we will score again and the first two minutes of the second half we conceded again.
“Every time they went forward it was easy for them. Our organisation in our defensive moment, we don’t put enough aggressiveness in the match.”
