Tottenham HotspurWelcome back to our special feature for 2022/23 - 1 from 30 - as we continue to mark 30 years of the Premier League.
English football's new dawn kicked-off on the weekend of 15/16 August, 1992 as the FA Premier League replaced Barclays League Division One, ending a structure of Division One-Four that had been in place since 1958. Thirty years on, the Premier League is amongst the most watched and most valuable sporting leagues in the world.
In this series, we're featuring a match from those 30 years that corresponds with our next fixture - goals galore at Goodison Park and an early Christmas present in 2018...
Everton 2-6 Spurs - 23 December, 2018
What a performance this was on Christmas Eve Eve, 2018.
We travelled to Merseyside sitting third in the Premier League, rode the storm at Goodison before running riot.
Theo Walcott opened the scoring on 21 minutes but 20 minutes later, we were 3-1 up. It all started with a superb strike from Heung-Min Son. Harry Kane clipped a pass for Sonny to chase down the right channel, Jordan Pickford and Kurt Zouma collided, Sonny was first to the loose ball and swept into an empty net from the tightest of angles. Dele drilled home the rebound after Pickford denied Son and Harry Kane was alert to convert when Kieran Trippier's free-kick cannoned back off the post.
We continued to turn the screw at the start of the second half and it was 4-1 after 48 minutes with a sweet strike from Christian Eriksen, a controlled volley from 25 yards. Gylfi Sigurdsson pulled a goal back but Sonny soon latched onto Erik Lamela's pass to beat Pickford for 5-2 and Kane brought up the half dozen with a quick break from one end to other - four touches - Toby Alderweireld into Ben Davies, he helped onto onto Sonny who crossed for Kane to slide home. Six of the best!
Spurs: Lloris, Trippier, Alderweireld, Sanchez, Davies, Sissoko (Lucas), Eriksen, Dele (Lamela), Son (Skipp), Kane.
