Everton’s miserable start to the new season continued after a 4-0 defeat at Tottenham, which saw goalkeeper Jordan Pickford make a huge error.
After a 3-0 home defeat to Brighton on the opening weekend, Sean Dyche's side have now conceded seven goals from their first two games and sit bottom of the Premier League without scoring.
Spurs' opener at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium was unstoppable, however, as Yves Bissouma thundered home from just outside the edge of the box off the underside of the bar in the 14th minute to put his laughing gas incident behind him.

Then came Pickford's blunder as England's number one dallied on James Tarkowski's backpass to allow Heung-Min Son to nick the ball off him and finish into an empty net in the 25th minute.
Pickford's embarrassment summed up a poor first half from the visitors, whose only shot on target came in the 58th minute when substitute and debutant Jesper Lindstrom saw an effort saved by Guglielmo Vicario.
But just as Everton began to get a foothold in the second half, the Toffees were undone at a corner in the 71st minute as Cristian Romero headed home on his 100th Spurs appearance.
More misery came just six minutes later for Everton as a wonderful surging run from Spurs centre-back Micky van de Ven saw him tee up Son, who finished low from a tight angle for his second of the game.
While Spurs' season is now up and running with their first victory of the new season after Monday's 1-1 draw at newly-promoted Leicester, Everton's concerns will only have deepened. They have now lost their opening two Premier League matches for the third consecutive season and remain without an away league victory in 2024.
Postecoglou: Bissouma's goal start to redemption
Tottenham boss Ange Postecolgou to Sky Sports:
"The performance was good, it was good last week. We limited them to what they're good at - set pieces - which we dealt with well. It's really encouraging for us.
"I also felt, as long as we keep performing and creating chances, those kind of things [scoring that second goal] take their turn. Good pressing on Jordan [Pickford] by Sonny and he got his rewards.
"We want to keep improving. Last week was a strong performance as well, we dominated the game, but we have to close it out. When we do dominate a game, we have to make it count and we did that today."
On Yves Bissouma's goal following his one-game suspension for his laughing gas incident: "It's a start. But he still has work to do.
"There's no doubting his quality. But we want to make him the best version of himself, that starts with off-field as much as on-field."
Maddison: We were more ruthless today
Tottenham midfielder James Maddison speaking to Sky Sports:
"The scoreline was quite devastating when you look at 4-0, but it was thoroughly deserved. We put away the chances we didn't put away on Monday night [against Leicester], that normally means three points.
"It was nice to take the criticism from the manager of being more ruthless and the next game we've put it into practice."
