Teams : |
| 29.11.1997 | Spurs ran out 2-0 winners
in a Premier League game they dominated at Goodison Park.
Everton had the best of the first half, but were unable to convert the chances they created, while Clive Wilson was alert in the first minute to clear Duncan Ferguson's header off the line. Ex-Spur Nick Barmby glanced a shot against the bar and Spurs were further hampered, when the injured Campbell had to be replaced before half-time. Spurs had a good opportunity in the 56th minute, when Ramon Vega headed over when well-placed from Scales' header back into the box at Ginola's corner. Fortunately, he was more accurate in the 72nd minute, when he was on hand to put Andy Sinton's cross into the net. When David Ginola ripped a shot past the keeper following a mazy run to make it 2-0, Spurs had the points sewn up. Teams : |
| 12.04.1997 | Gary Speed's single goal
won this Premier League game for struggling Everton, as Spurs suffered a number of
injuries during the game at Goodison.
Speed struck in the 11th minute to give the home side a lead they held onto despite Tottenham having good openings that Sheringham (twice) and Campbell's header could not finish. Allan Nielsen's effort was saved acrobatically by Neville Southall. At the other end, Ian Walker saved from Duncan Ferguson and Graham Stuart, while Nick Barmby hit a shot into the side-netting. Caretaker manager Dave Watson did well to head Teddy Sheringham's free-kick off the line to maintain the vital lead for Everton. Teams : |
| 24.08.1996 | In a disappointing Premier
League match, played in heavy rain at White Hart Lane, Ian Walker was in
good form to keep Andrei Kanchelskis, Graham Stuart and Duncan Ferguson
at bay, while Spurs' best opportunities came to Sheringham, Dozzell and
Rosenthal.

| 17.12.1994 | - |
| 24.08.1994 | Another outstanding
goal-scoring master-class by Jurgen Klinsmann saw off Everton in this
Premier League match.
Teddy Sheringham nearly gave Spurs the lead when he reached Kerslake's cross and diverted the ball up onto the bar and then reacted quickly, but his header just went over the bar. In the 27th minute, David Kerslake broke down the right wing to cross into the box. the ball fell at the far post, where Sheringham knocked it back, Nethercott headed down and Klinsmann leapt to scissor kick the ball past Southall with great power. With 35 minutes gone, another Kerslake cross flicked off Sheringham's head and Klinsmann reacted well to the speeding ball to direct it just inside the post to give Tottenham a 2-0 advantage. Just before the break an Unsworth handball in the box gave Sheringham the chance to make the lead even greater, but his penalty kick was blazed over the top. Everton did get back into the game in the second half, when a quick free-kick was played to John Ebbrell, who bent the ball round the Spurs defence for Paul Rideout to slide in at the far post to narrow the lead. Teams : |
| 03.10.1993 | Paul Rideout's 16th minute
goal was equalised by Teddy Sheringham's header from Danny Hill's 59th
minute cross, but the lead for Everton was regained by Cottee's 68th
minute penalty. The penalty detracted from Gary Mabbutt's day, as
it was his 500th appearance for Tottenham and it was him who brought the
former West Ham United striker to the ground to concede the spot-kick.
The game seemed to be slipping away from Tottenham, but Darren Anderton grabbed what seemed to be a point in the 89th minute with a finish to Sedgley and Sheringham's build up work. However, the Spurs fans in the 27,487 crowd (and the Sky TV audience in front of their TVs) went wild when Darren Caskey shot home through a crowd of players in the area at the Paxton end to net the winner in the second minute of added time. Teams : |
| 05.09.1992 | Tottenham's captain for the
day Paul Allen was on the mark to give Spurs the lead in this Premier
League meeting with Everton. Peter Beardsley scored for Everton,
but Andy Turner's late winner gave Spurs the points and made him the
youngest scorer in the Premier League at the time.
Teams : |
| 05.10.1991 | Tottenham unbeaten away
record crashed to a halt with a hat-trick from Tony Cottee in 16
minutes. The former West Ham striker gave the Toffees the lead in
14 minutes, but Gary Lineker's diving header pulled Spurs level on 17
minutes. Cottee converted a 21st minute penalty before completing
his treble six minutes later to condemn Tottenham to defeat.
Teams : |
| 03.12.1988 | Spurs lost out by a single
Tony Cottee goal at Goodison Park.
Teams : |
| 01.02.1986 | A late goal at Goodison Park
won the match for the home side when it looked as though Spurs might
take a First Division point from their visit to Merseyside. Only eight minutes remained when some slick passing freed Peter Reid, who had been out injured for five months and the midfielder fired in a shot off the underside of the bar to beat Ray Clemence. The goal took Everton top of the table, while Spurs were down in 13th place. Teams : |
| 26.08.1985 | A Gary Lineker goal won
this match ... for Everton !! In the days before he joined Spurs, he got thirty league goals in this season for the Toffees and it was enough for his first goal for the Blues in his fourth game to secure all the points from this game. Teams : |
| 03.04.1985 | Tottenham's hopes of
challenging for the First Division title more or less ended with a
disappointing defeat at home to Everton.
As early as the ninth minute, the visitors took the lead when striker Andy Gray volleyed in a fierce shot from 20 yards and in the 62nd minute, Trevor Steven added a second to give Spurs a tough task to get anything out of the game. Although Graham Roberts scored a pile-driver from 25 yards out in the 73rd minute, Tottenham could not force an equaliser and finished the game on the attack, but with no reward. Teams : |
| 25.08.1984 | A sparkling win on the
opening day of the season saw Spurs stun the European Cup Winners Cup
holders.
New manager Peter Shreeves threw new signings Clive Allen and John Chiedozie into the side and they made an immediate impact. Adrian Heath's penalty put Spurs behind in the 16th minute, but it was not long before Tottenham pulled level with Mark Falco scoring in the 39th minute. Within two minutes, Clive Allen had opened his goalscoring account for the club and then was joined in the debut scoring six minutes after the interval, when Chiedozie hit the net to make it 3-1 to Tottenham. When Allen hit the fourth Spurs goal, it rounded off a fine first afternoon of the season for the side against the side who won the title at the end of the season. Teams : |

Teams : |
| 17.09.1983 | Two first half goals for

Falco, but were unable to grab an equaliser to end their run of three
home games without a win.

Just before ten minutes had elapsed, debutant Eddie Clayton put Tottenham ahead and seven minutes after, Bobby Smith made it 2-0. Smith forced Bert Dunlop into a fine save, but Clayton netted to put Spurs three goals ahead. Shortly after half-time, Tommy Harmer and Terry Medwin linked well to provide Smith the chance to head home number four. Halfway through the second half, Everton began their comeback with a left footed shot from Dave Hickson, while Eddie Thomas fired home from a tight angle to make it 4-2. The deficit was reduced to one goal when claims for handball in the box rang out, but Hickson played on to slam the ball home. In a game of much incident, Ted Ditchburn had to soldier on with an injured knee, while Clayton might have added to his tally in his first match with a shot against a post and another ruled out for a push.

Within 20 minutes, Everton took a 2-0 lead with goals from Tommy Lawton and Dixie Dean. Johnny Morrison grabbed a goal seven minutes later to give Spurs a way back, but a linesman helped even further just after half time. Dean was fouled in the box and the referee pointed to the penalty spot, but on conferring with his colleague, overturned his decision to give a foul throw against Everton in the build up to the incident. Spurs were also denied, this time when an equaliser was ruled out for a foul by Morrison on the keeper before netting. It looked as though Spurs were out of it, as Everton broke to the other end of the pitch in the 63rd minute and Dean scored to give the Toffees a 3-1 lead. A couple of minutes later, Joe Meek set Morrison away to beat an offside trap and close the gap to one goal again. With five minutes remaining, Morrison returned the favour and Meek scored to make it 3-3 to send the 46,972 crowd wild. The momentum was now in Spurs' favour and when Morrison headed home Miller's cross, his hat-trick had completed an amazing comeback to go through to the 6th round. Spurs:
