Tottenham coach praises Everton star.

Ange Postecoglou expressed disappointment that Tottenham Hotspur lost to Everton due to a late equalizer scored by Jarrad Branthwaite, while Jordan Pickford kept the Champions League hopefuls from scoring a third goal that would have sealed the deal.

For the second time this season, Everton required a few incredible saves from their England international goalkeeper, as Tottenham tightened up and looked to cut into the advantage that former Toffee Richarlison had given them.

And, much like he has so many times throughout the Sean Dyche era, Jordan Pickford came to the rescue, saving the damsel in distress from what seemed like certain death.

The Everton number one produced a number of excellent saves in the second half of the match to deny James Maddison from long range and prevent Richarlison from accomplishing a feat he was never able to accomplish while wearing blue: a hat-trick at Goodison Park.

Quite let down. Postecoglou laments “especially conceding so late” in an interview with BBC Sport following Branthwaite’s incredible display, which was rounded off in the 94th minute by a close-range equalizer.

“We missed opportunities to eliminate them. They ultimately received one late. They just posed that threat, and during the entire game, we had to cope with them hurling balls into the box.

Pickford made two or three excellent saves. We were able to obtain two, but not the third.

Everton, who were docked ten points by the Premier League for breaking “profit and sustainability rules” in November, is now only a point behind Nottingham Forest in 17th place thanks to the outcome.

In the meantime, Tottenham lost the opportunity to draw even with Arsenal, their neighbors in North London, before the Gunners’ match against Liverpool on Sunday.

The team’s approach to work following a late-night draw (0-0) at Fulham over the week… There’s no denying the dedication to the cause. According to Dyche, Everton’s dead-ball deliveries have troubled Spurs goalie Guglielmo Vicario the entire time, as reported by the Liverpool Echo.

“I told the players at halftime that it had been a really good half and that they should keep going.” We maintained a fairly high level, in my opinion. All around the pitch, we want to compete on set pieces. While my team and the analyst team try our hardest, a big part of it still comes down to delivery.

“I believe there is a purpose behind it, and we pose a threat.” It all comes down to how we operate.

“They are witnessing a side battling to the very end of a game involving players.” And today was just more of the same (that personality). We kept hammering on the door, and Jarrad gave us a set piece as payment.
