Van de Ven Double Ends Everton's Unbeaten Streak at Brand New Home Ground
The Dutch defender became the initial defender to score twice in a Premier League game for Spurs since the Belgian defender in spring 2013.
Match summary
Micky Van de Ven nods home two times in opening period
Everton's defender has goal ruled after VAR review
Pape Matar Sarr nets third in dying moments
The defeat is the Merseyside club's initial at Hill Dickinson Stadium
Micky van de Ven scored twice as Tottenham extended their winning streak in away games in the Premier League and delivered Everton their initial loss at Hill Dickinson Stadium.
The Toffees were undefeated in their five previous fixtures at their new ground at Bramley-Moore Dock, having left their historic home behind after more than a century at the end of the previous campaign.
But Tottenham's leader Van de Ven pounced on two occasions from set-pieces in the first half to place their impressive record at jeopardy, and they were unable to mount a comeback before the midfielder - assisted by former Toffees attacker the Brazilian - headed home a final goal to seal the victory.
The Everton defender thought he had equalized the scores five minutes after the defender's first goal, directing a bullet header past Guglielmo Vicario from an set-piece.
Beto, in the meantime, failed to convert a number of chances, while Vicario made a succession of fine saves to ensure the London club went five matches on the road unbeaten in the Premier League.
But the VAR intervened, instructing the match official to check the goal on the pitchside monitor and the official decided that the winger and the attacker were in an illegal position and had interfered with the Tottenham goalkeeper.
The win elevates Thomas Frank's side into third place in the division, five points off north London rivals and leaders Arsenal.
The Merseyside club remain 14th and are half a dozen points ahead of the relegation zone.
Tottenham analysis: The defender fulfils role at each end of the field
After a uninspiring weekday display in the European competition against Monaco, where they managed a only attempts on goal, the manager opted for Randal Kolo Muani in attack instead of ex-Everton forward the Brazilian.
The summer signing was unable to make much of an impact before being replaced for the substitute after 60 minutes on the pitch, but it turns out he proved unnecessary in the final outcome.
Centre-back the Dutchman converted into an offensive threat to be reckoned with.
Tottenham's opening strike came from a cleverly executed set-piece play, with Rodrigo Bentancur heading the ball toward the face of goal for an free the defender to score.
And the captain - stepping up as captain in Cristian Romero's absence - notched his next goal in first-half stoppage time as he rose above the England keeper to nod in.
The Dutchman was equally impressive in defensive duties, combining effectively with his defensive colleague as the duo handled superbly with the numerous deliveries sent their way by the opposition.
Everton analysis: Everton lacking finishing touch
The club's new home had been a happy hunting ground, but it appears the novelty may have faded slightly and supporters headed to the gates after Sarr's final goal for Tottenham.
The end in Everton's unbeaten home run will not be a massive worry for the manager, but their attacking woes are.
Beto and the other striker - the Everton's two established centre-forwards - had scored just one league goal combined before Sunday's outing.
And they were failed to add to that poor record on a wet and gloomy night on in Liverpool.
The striker's form was epitomized when he opted to overhead kick a clear chance from near the goal, even with having room and opportunity to readjust for a simpler attempt that would have tested Vicario.
The substitute, as well, failed to make an impact after replacing the starter in the 65th minute.
It was not for a shortage of chance. The majority of Everton's attacks came through the winger and Ndiaye, who relentlessly whipped dangerous crosses into the Tottenham penalty area.
What next for these two sides?
The Toffees: Moyes' men travel to Sunderland in the Premier League on Monday, 3 November at 8 PM.
Spurs: Spurs travel to Newcastle's ground on Wednesday, 29 October for their fourth-round League Cup match against Newcastle.
