The scoreline was a reflection of the two teams' struggles in front of goal, with Tottenham Hotspur and Everton being the two worst teams for chance quality. Tottenham Hotspur, who are 18th in the table, have no goals and just one point on the board after three league games. Everton, on the other hand, are 9th in the table but have taken just seven points from the past 51 available to them away at Tottenham. This poor record in north London has raised concerns about the team's ability to perform on the road.
The draw was a nervy affair, with Tottenham Hotspur's fans already showing signs of early mutiny due to the team's lack of goals. The return of David Moyes' side was expected to make for nervous viewing, but the match ultimately ended in a stalemate. The draw leaves both teams with a lot to work on, particularly in terms of finding the back of the net.
