Image source, Getty ImagesEverton's new home at Hill Dickinson Stadium had been a happy hunting ground, but it seems the freshness may have worn off slightly and fans flocked to the exits after Pape Matar Sarr's third for Spurs.
The break in Everton's unbeaten home run won't be a massive concern for David Moyes, but their striker situation will be.
Beto and Thierno Barry - the Toffees' two recognised centre-forwards - had scored just one league goal between them before Sunday's outing.
And they were unable to add to that miserable tally on a damp and dreary evening on Merseyside.
Beto's form was summed up when he chose to bicycle-kick a golden opportunity from close range, despite having space and time to readjust for a more conventional attempt that would have challenged Vicario.
Barry, too, failed to make an impact after replacing Beto in the 65th minute.
It wasn't for a lack of opportunity. The majority of Everton's attacks came through Jack Grealish and Iliman Ndiaye, who tirelessly whipped dangerous balls into the Tottenham box.
Everton didn't defend corners well enough - Moyes
Everton boss David Moyes spoke to BBC Match of the Day after his side's defeat to Tottenham: "It wasn't a 3-0, but it ended up 3-0 because we didn't defend our set pieces well enough. I thought we did a lot of positive things, but it wasn't a positive result, which is what we were after."
On set pieces: "Give Spurs credit, they are good at them, they got on the end of things that they tried, we had more corners than them but couldn't get one of those moments to go for us. That happens, today was a bit of a kick in the you-know-whats."
On the goal ruled out by VAR: "Since I have seen it, I agree it was offside, if it had been the other way around I would be claiming it was an offside goal so I think they got it right.
"Their keeper was probably their best player, dealt with corners incredibly well. We played some good stuff but could not get the goal we needed."

Heading into this game, Everton were the only team yet to concede from a set-piece in the Premier League this season (excluding penalties) – the Toffees then proceeded to concede from a corner twice in the same Premier League game for the first time since December 2023 (Max Kilman and Craig Dawson for Wolves).

Tottenham have become a more versatile side under Thomas Frank, able to set up to suit the opposition, but I don't feel as if they are ever clinical enough in the final third.
It is a similar story with Everton. I always feel they have a goal in them, just not from the centre-forward, whether it is Beto or Thierno Barry leading their attack.
It must be frustrating for Toffees manager David Moyes but being realistic, who can they attract, or afford, who would make a difference up front?
All of that makes me think this is going to be a tight game, and I don't think there will be a winner.
Sutton's prediction: 1-1
Matthew Hobbs
BBC Sport journalist
Everton are unbeaten so far in five games at Hill Dickinson Stadium and they next put that record on the line against a Tottenham side who have won more away points than any other team this season.
While Everton's home form has been strong, the 2-0 defeat at Manchester City last weekend highlighted familiar problems up front.
Everton's current two strikers, Beto and Thierno Barry, have scored one goal between them in 16 Premier League appearances this season.
Beto, who joined from Udinese for £21.5m two years ago, had an excellent chance to score early on at Etihad Stadium, narrowly failing to convert a low cross into an open goal.
The Guinea-Bissau international is underperforming his expected goals tally more than any other Premier League player bar Jean-Philippe Mateta this season - but whereas the Crystal Palace forward has still scored five Premier League goals, Beto has scored just one in eight appearances.
Barry, a £27.5m summer signing from Villarreal, is understandably taking time to adjust to the pace of Premier League football in only his second campaign in a top European league.
What may help the Toffees this weekend, as they attempt to win back-to-back Premier League meetings with Tottenham for the first time since manager David Moyes' first spell with the club, is the return of Jack Grealish.
The on-loan England international was ineligible to face parent club City last Saturday and Everton's attacking numbers - albeit in a tough assignment away from home - dropped off.
The Toffees average 13 shots and four on target per game with Grealish in the side in the Premier League this season but they managed just five shots, and one on target, against Pep Guardiola's side.
Tottenham's tally of 10 points from their opening four away matches is the highest of any side, beating Manchester City, West Ham United and Leeds United.
The 2-1 home defeat by Aston Villa last weekend, however, highlighted an ongoing vulnerability that will be familiar to Spurs' supporters.
Since the start of 2024-25, Tottenham have lost eight Premier League matches when scoring first - the joint most of any team along with Fulham.
And while fans may associate such setbacks with the reign of Ange Postecoglou, current Spurs head coach Thomas Frank has his own history of letting leads slip.
Over the same period, Frank has lost six games after scoring first - with Brentford and Spurs - with only Postecoglou and Fulham boss Marco Silva doing so more often.
Tottenham will also have to contend with a quicker turnaround following a Champions League result on Wednesday that may be less familiar in its circumstances - the 0-0 draw at Monaco was Tottenham's first goalless draw in 126 games in all competitions.

Everton boss David Moyes has been speaking to the media before Sunday's Premier League game against Tottenham at Hill Dickinson Stadium (kick-off 16:30 GMT).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
Moyes said they will not be giving a timescale for Jarrad Branthwaite's return after he had more surgery on his hamstring on Tuesday, adding: "We had him back, he was back in full training, and we expected him to be very close for the Manchester City game [last weekend]. It didn't feel quite right so we got it checked out and he's had to have some work on it."
Right-back Nathan Patterson is sidelined with "a plantar fascia tear in his foot" which "will probably keep him out for a couple of weeks".
Moyes confirmed Patterson will also be treated for his hernia while resting his foot.
On whether Jake O'Brien is an option at centre-back: "He's had a couple of games there and done really well. He is a centre-back but he is doing a really good job for us as a right-back. If we have any problems then we know we've got him."
In response to whether Hill Dickinson Stadium now feels like home: "I think we're all pretty comfortable. We've won the games [played there] so it's easier to speak well about it. Generally, I think it is something we have been hoping and waiting on at Everton so now we are there we are so glad we've got it."
He said there is a "different feeling" around the club this season and "the supporters are more optimistic".
Moyes added: "When I came in, it was the feeling of anything better than what has gone on. It was about staying in the league, most importantly. It's part of the manager's job to build expectation, but in the same breath, we have to remember the last couple of years because a lot has got to change to get us back to the levels we hope we can be."
On Iliman Ndiaye's season so far: "It is hugely impressive how he has played. He's been so good and we're getting goals from him as well. He is a great lad to work with."

Image source, Getty ImagesFormer Everton defender and captain Alan Stubbs discussed what the Toffees should do with their backline following the confirmation of Jarrad Branthwaite's hamstring operation on Monday.
The 23-year-old hasn't featured for Everton yet in this campaign after picking up the initial injury during pre-season.
"Everton have been without him for a while now and it has been a concern," Stubbs told BBC Radio Merseyside.
"We all thought he was going to be back realistically after the last international break and that hasn't happened and then obviously the news broke about him having surgery on his hamstring.
"I suppose it's good news and bad news because at least Everton have got to the root of the problem and he's had an operation that will hopefully solve the issues he was encountering but, in the short-term, it's bad news because we know how much Everton missed him.
"Unfortunately, the options are not great in terms of what we do now. Michael Keane's come in and I must admit he's done really well, very well with [James] Tarkowski. There's the option of Jake O'Brien coming in, Seamus Coleman, James Garner, who's done very well at either full-back, so there are options.
"The problem is square pegs in round holes but I must admit Garner has had some of his best games at right-back if David Moyes does decide to put Jake O'Brien inside."

Image source, Getty ImagesTravelling to Manchester City and leaving with a defeat, will be commonplace to many sides. Sadly, we fell the same way on Saturday.
So often in defeat you rightly look at what went wrong, but sometimes it is just as important to shine some light on the positives, and in our case, Iliman Ndiaye.
I have highlighted him once already this season. After the arrival of Jack Grealish, the external attention he once demanded appeared to have dwindled slightly. Following Saturday's showing, he has become impossible to ignore once again.
To say he was a headache for Manchester City's left-hand side would be an understatement.
His entire repertoire was evident.
Fleet-footed, mesmerising body movement and clever bursts of pace, it was a performance that warranted being on the winning side.
His nonchalant beating of three City players on the edge of his own box, highlighted his brilliance.
On another day, he could have walked away with a goal and an assist and would have done if not for some Gianluigi Donnarumma acrobatics and a miss by Beto.
The defensive side of his game was just as impressive. He regularly dispossessed Jeremy Doku, showing incredible strength to hold him off on multiple occasions.
It is the kind of performance Evertonians have seen countless times before. The real concern now is that many clubs will be on red alert to capture his signature in the summer.
Everton are in a strong position in that sense - with Ndiaye contracted until June 2029 – but you would like to think the club would offer improved terms to ensure he stays at the club.
I believe that he could play for any club in Europe and not look out of place. We need to ensure our ambitions match his.

Image source, Getty ImagesI often think of players who would be even more impressive playing with better sides, teams who have more of the ball and spend more time in the attacking third.
Watching Everton's Iliman Ndiaye so far this season, I suspect he could do a phenomenal job if he was playing for Manchester City, Chelsea or Arsenal, he is that good.
I hope he stays at the Toffees but they might have to fight off bids from the bigger boys soon. Notice I don't mention Liverpool in the shortlist.
This is not because he isn't capable but I would rightly have an Evertonian lynch mob after me if I suggested such a thing!

We asked for your thoughts after Saturday's Premier League game between Manchester City and Everton.
Here are some of your comments:
City fans
Chris: Erling Haaland is a machine. Other players need to step up and contribute to the goal stats. An injury to Haaland could derail our season.
Harry: Still looking a little shaky at the back. No disrespect to Beto but if anyone else is on the end of those two chances, then we're 2-0 down. Proud of the team. Yes, Haaland is doing the heavy lifting but I see only positives in the fact that we are finally getting him the service he needs. When Rayan Cherki and Omar Marmoush are fit enough he'll have some backup. Bring on Anfield.
Neil: Nico O'Reilly was my player of the match. His contribution was electric. The first half was sluggish and predictable with both wingers - Jeremy Doku and Savinho - putting poor crosses into the box. In the second half, City woke up and produced some decent football. Tijjani Reijnders seemed absent for most of the game but Haaland brightened up the day.
Everton fans
Mike: With such a blunt set of strikers like Everton have, the result was never really in doubt. As soon as we enter the final third, we look so naive. Beto can't control a football and Thierno Barry looks miles off it. Haaland was invisible until he scored, but that's the sign of a world-class striker - something Everton can only wish for. Iliman Ndiaye was brilliant and deserved to be on the winning team.
Harry: Never thought we would get anything against City. Although we have improved this year, we are miles off the top teams and Haaland alone is the proof of that.
Gerard: Pleased to see us have a go at City when we could. Love Beto's effort and never-say-die attitude, but ultimately, if he doesn't score we need someone who can. Not sure Barry is that person. Hasn't shown us anything yet and of the two, Beto provides us with more. Ndaiye and Jordan Pickford are fantastic and we look a good team - just need a goalscorer. Now where have I heard that before?
Image source, Getty ImagesEverton defender James Tarkowski has said his "overriding emotion is disappointment" after Saturday's 2-0 defeat at Manchester City as "for a lot of the game we did quite well".
"We restricted them to very little in the first half and was an even game," he told BBC Radio Merseyside. "They [City] dominated the ball, but we had some decent chances too.
"Erling Haaland is the most clinical player in world football so he was definitely going to score that free header.
"My overriding emotion is disappointment because you don't want to come away with a defeat, but we always try to reflect and look at the positives - and for a lot of the game we did quite well.
"It is easy to come to the Etihad and be 2-0 down and give up, but we didn't and we kept going.
"We are doing better than how we have started previous seasons but the ambition is the European places. We are not settling for mediocre seasons any more.
"We are looking to do better and improve - but it has been a decent start without being amazing."

Image source, Getty ImagesMoyes has the magical Iliman Ndiaye at his disposal, but the forward cannot do it all on his own and it could have been a different story had Beto done better with his chances.
He was inches away from converting one and he should have scored when slipped through by Ndiaye, although the flag did go up for offside.
Instead, David Moyes maintained the unwanted record of never beating a side that finished in the top three of the Premier League the previous season, a statistic that now extends to 37 games.
Everton's own miserable record against City also continued, now having failed to beat their opponents in their 17 league meetings since a 4-0 thrashing during Guardiola's first season in charge.
David Moyes spoke to BBC Match of the Day after Everton's defeat against Manchester City: "I was quite pleased with lots of the performance. Not pleased with the result. We've come here and put on a good show, up until the first goal certainly. Created a couple of chances in the first half. I wanted to try and challenge the likes of City and Arsenal where we can. We've challenged them today but we've come up a bit short.
On Beto's chances: "I think the one he doesn't get to, he should get to. The one that was given offside was onside I think and ultimately we get a VAR decision if it goes in. The first chance we're studs away from getting a goal.
On the difficulty of facing Erling Haaland: They've got a number nine who knows how to find the back of the net. One occasion where just as we were changing over from attacking to defensive phase we got caught up with a pass. It was a terrific ball by Nico O'Reilly for Haaland to score but if you give that level opportunities you give them the chance to score. A bit of a scruffy goal the second one. He scuffs it through James' [Tarkowski] legs, they won't be bothered about that but not a great finish from our point of view. That puts us in danger at 2-0 but I was impressed with how well we defended after that because they had more chances.
"You mustn't forget where Everton were in the last few years. Coming here we're trying to challenge one of the best teams in football. For large periods we did a good job and we challenged them. We move on."

Everton have won just one of their last 36 Premier League away games against sides who finished in the top four the previous season, and are winless in 20 (D7 L13) since beating Liverpool 2-0 in February 2021.
