Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi shares his thoughts after the Toffees clash Roberto De Zerbi says he is still searching for a 90 minute display from his goal-shy Tottenham side after failing to build on a bright start against Everton. Spurs began the game very much on the front foot and caused the visiting defence plenty of problems in the opening half hour. But once again they failed to capitalise in the final third and remain without a goal in the Premier League this sea

Tottenham Hotspur Stadium Here is how we rated Tottenham's players in today's 0-0 draw with Everton. Antonin Kinsky 7 – Good save to push behind James Garner’s first half stoppage time free-kick and used his head to somehow deny Thierno Barry an early second half breakthrough. Lucky to see Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall fire straight at him from his poor clearance. Archie Gray 6 – Required treatment for a back injury early on and then struggled to deal with the pace of Tyrique George,

Back for more punishment in N17 Premier League Tottenham Hotspur (0) 0 Everton (0) 0 For the first time in their storied history, Spurs have failed to score in their opening four games of a season. Boos greeted the final whistle after yet another afternoon of frustrating toil which began promisingly but fizzled out against a familiar backdrop of increasingly disenchanted home fans. The Lilywhites really don't seem to like their own home. It was just a few weeks ago against th

Premier League Crystal Palace (1) 2 Khalali 14, Strand Larsen 75 Ipswich Town (2) 3 Emersonn 23, David 45, Flemming 90 Crystal Palace suffered its third defeat in four games when Ipswich Town grabbed a late winner at Selhurst Park. Former Millwall-forward Zian Flemming scored the winning goal on his debut for The Tractor Boys. Playing with ten men most of the game, courtesy of a silly red card for Alex Disasi, Crystal Palace looked like salvaging a draw against an excellent

This match will have done little to reassure them that the likely pathway is towards glory as they fell

Aiming for the top: Friday night brought Wrexham to town. And three easy points. Championship West Ham United (2) 6 Bowen 28, Piroe 37, Mavropanos 48, Castellanos 63, Kante 76 Solomon 62 Wrexham (0) 0 It had been nearly three years since West Ham last won four games in a row - but they have reached that marker to once again signal their intention not to hang around too long in the Championship. They are back on top of the league - at least until tomorrow - and look more than

By Alessandro Schiavone at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona Napoli 0-1 Arsenal Goal: Odegaard 75' Arsenal bounced back from their heartbreaking Champions League final loss in Budapest by kicking off the new edition with a 1-0 win at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. But Ben White, Piero Hincapie, Mikel Merino, Bruno Guimaraes, Noni Madueke all owe Martin Odegaard a dinner at a fancy London restaurant.

The Den prepares : Picture by @YTJourno League Cup Third Round Millwall (0) 0 Newcastle United (0) 1 Willock 81 Sometimes you don't need a ton of goals for a thriller. A solitary Joe Willock goal with about 10 minutes to play was just enough to see the Premier League boys overcome the Lions in a rip-roaring encounter in which Millwall filled their fans with pride. Theirs was a great effort to contain and aim for a swift break or two and set

Eagles v Boro: Pic by JTaylorSport Crystal Palace 3 Middlesbrough 0 It was a tie which had the potential for an upset - but Crystal Palace eased into the fourth round of the Carabao Cup, thanks to a brace of headers by Jorgen Strand Larsen and a fine chipped goal by Daichi Kamada against Middlesbrough at Selhurst Park. Strand Larsen’s aerial abilities ultimately made the difference against the Championship outfit, who acquitted themselves well, but lacked the clinical touch o

Andy woodman in usual no-nonsense form post-match : Picture by @YTJourno Bromley's bid to get back on an even keel after two fearful batterings in the past week fell flat, as they were well beaten by south London rivals AFC Wimbledon. Monday night's 2-0 defeat at Hayes Lane may not have been as embarrassing as the 7-2 shellacking at Sheffield Wednesday or the 5-0 home defeat to Orient but it suggests a worrying direction of travel for the Ravens as they

Bromley did not concede the avalanche of goals that have descended on them in the past week, but they were still very much second best at Hayes Lane against an altogether slicker AFC Wimbledon. The Dons scored in each half and were less

By Alessandro Schiavone in Prague Jan Koller revealed that he rebuffed Fulham’s advances in the same summer Edwin Van der Sar left Juve for Craven Cottage because the club wasn’t big enough for him. Although the 6ft 7ins Czech juggernaut was the subject of an enticing offer from the Cottagers and was eager to join them, Champions League giants Borussia Dortmund, who had won Ol Big Ears four years previously, hijacked the deal. At the time he claimed that the opportunity to pl

The Hammers were on song ; Picture @CapitalFootballUK Having swept to the top of the table with three wins out of three, Nathan Jones' Charlton Athletic travelled to Stoke City full of optimism, but a chastening first 45 minutes saw them well and truly humbled. Two goals from Justin Devenny, a deadline signing from Crystal Palace, one from Ethan Galbraith and another from George Hirst gave the Potters a 4-0 half-time lead. The Addicks did well to avoid further embarrassment a

First reverse for Alonso to get to grips with : Picture by @YTJourno Xabi Alonso suffered his first setback as Chelsea boss as the Blues fell 2-1 at the Emirates in a high-intensity clash - but insists the outlook is fine with so much of the campaign ahead. Despite the encouragement of an early Morgan Rogers strike for his side, the Gunners fought back well to take the points - ending the Blues' perfect start to the new season.

Contemplating a significant win. Arteta post match : Picture by Julian Taylor The smile was possibly as broad as we have ever seen it. It wasn't just that he had got one over his good friend from the same part of the world as himself, Xabi Alonso, but also because his team showed the mettle of champions. If Mikel Arteta was looking for signs that his team is still very much hungry for more after winning the title last season, Sunday's 2-1 victory over Chelsea showed plenty. T

First big clash of the season : Picture by @YTJourno Premier League Arsenal (1) 2 Havertz 25, Odegaard 50 Chelsea (1) 1 Rogers 2 A game of startling pace and intensity ended with Arsenal recovering from an early setback to maintain their recent hold over the Blues. It was a match that had no right to be this good, this early in the season, but Arsenal in particular looked in no mood to let this opportunity pass to lay down an early reminder that they are the reigning champion

Fulham (2) 2 v Crystal Palace (1) 3 King 11 Mitchell 36 Palacios 42 Mitchell 54 Chilwell 77 By Kaz Mochlinski at Craven Cottage Premier League Matchweek 3 Crystal Palace gained their first points of the new Premier League season with a vital victory at Craven Cottage, producing a spirited comeback from being behind at half-time to leave Fulham in despair after three consecutive defeats. All three Palace goals were scored by their left-sided wing-backs, with two from Tyrick Mi

Post match thoughts : Picture by Capital Football Keith Andrews admitted his side were not at the races in the first half of Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Sunderland in west London. The Bees looked distinctly out of sorts during the opening period and so it came as no surprise when head coach Andrews made three changes at the break. He saw that call pay off when Vitaly Janelt volleyed the hosts in front in the 57th minute. However, Enzo Le Fee’s penalty rescued a point for the Bla

Picture: Capital Football Premier League Brentford (0) 1 Janelt 57 Sunderland (0) 1 Le Fee pen 82 A late Enzo Le Fee penalty denied Brentford victory as Sunderland secured a 1-1 draw at the Gtech. The visitors were the better team in the first period and were frustrated to see an early Dan Ballard goal chalked out because Kevin Danso was ruled offside. Instead it was Vitaly Janelt who struck first as he volleyed the Bees ahead on 57 minutes. But the Mackems sealed a point in

Trent assignment for Spurs : Picture by @YTJourno Premier League Nottingham Forest 0 Tottenham Hotspur 0 Spurs are finally on the scoreboard. That's in terms of points, though, not goals. Goals would perhaps be pushing it. The display may have looked more organised and together than in the first two games of the season - both defeats - but Roberto de Zerbi's men are still not striking too much terror in opposition defences as yet. It's now three blanks in a row. It needed a V

EFL Championship Millwall (0) 0 Wrexham (1) 3 Sturge o.g. 28, Moore 52, Ekomie 68 After the 5-1 drubbing in Southampton last Saturday, Millwall suffered another big defeat as Wrexham tamed The Lions in their Den: 0-3. Alex Neil’s injury-plagued side managed to create only one decent chance in a disappointing display. ‘We need to make sure that is just a bump in the road,’ Neil wrote in the match program, referring to the defeat against The Saints. But it was not to be. His si

Table Toppers It may not have been that spectacular, but Charlton Athletic fans are not complaining. Karlan Grant's 56th minute strike was enough to beat Preston 1-0 at the Valley on Sunday to make it an unexpectedly perfect start to this new Championship season for Nathan Jones' men. That made it three wins out of three for the Addicks, who are the only team with a 100 per cent record in the division. It once again owed much to a solid defence, with keeper Arthur Okonkwo hav
