Tottenham Hotspur defeated Everton 2-1 in the 18th round of the Premier League (PL) in the 2023-24 season held at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England, at midnight on the 24th (Korea time). Tottenham ranked fourth with 11 wins, three draws and four losses (36 points).
Everton’s rise, which has scored eight points in four consecutive league games, has been a great burden for Tottenham, which is seeking to enter fourth place. It was a clash of offensive colors between Everton’s defense, where Sean Dyche’s good football was perfectly established, and Tottenham’s return under Enze Postecoglou.
Tottenham broke through Everton’s powerful shield earlier than expected. Surprisingly, the player who appeared in the process was Hishalisson. In the 8th minute of the first half, Pape Mata Sarr put a sharp pass to Brennan Johnson running to the right, and when the pass was directed to Johnson, Hishalisson immediately started. Johnson’s sharp delivery cross was directed to Hishalisson, who finished with an exquisite one-touch shot.
It was Hishalisson’s fifth goal in the league. He has scored four goals in his last three matches. Having scored only two goals in his last 39 league games, Hishalisson is spearheading Tottenham as his scoring ability recovers after an pubic bone surgery.
Hishalisson was replaced early by Pierre-Emile Hoivierre in the 18th minute of the second half after a good performance in the match. Hishalisson is said to have had back pain even before the match. Postecoglou replaced Hishalisson to manage his injury.
Until recently, Hishalisson was considered one of the worst recruitments in Tottenham’s history along with Tanguy Ndombele, but now it seems difficult to treat the two players at the same level. As the psychological problem has been solved and the injury problem has been shaken off, the Hishalisson of Everton’s time is clearly coming out. 스포츠토토
Hishalisson is up for grabs as the first player of the month award. According to soccer statistics magazine Squirrel, no player in the league scored more goals than Hishalisson in December. If Hishalisson, who scored four goals in December alone, is also strong in matches against Brighton and Bournemouth, he will be able to win the player of the month award.
