13 duels won, 8 interceptions: 24-year-old Tottenham star was brilliant out of position in Everton win
Tottenham Hotspur wing back Emerson Royal was brilliant against Everton despite playing out of position
Spurs wing-back Emerson Royal put up amazing figures, according to the statistics shared by Squawka on X, helping the team finish in the top four shortly before Christmas. Even though our game day was chaotic as always, Ange Postecoglou’s strategies once again proved to be crucial in ensuring our victory, with full credit going to our goal scorers.
The manager had to make a difficult choice about his team. For the game against the Toffees, the manager was forced to start Oliver Skipp and Emerson Royal in lieu of suspended players Yves Bissouma and Destiny Udogie.
Both have seen little game action this season.In fact, they can’t help but wonder if they will still be with the Spurs in the coming months.
The Everton forwards made swift moves throughout the game, with Danjumia running around the back, seemingly poised to score. However, his shot hit the bar and ricocheted off Vicario’s knee, denying him the goal. What a remarkable ending by Everton, well, except for their finishing. But, what an incredible match it was!
