Younes Kaboul, already a solid presence in defence, is taken off after 18 minutes, leaving Anthony Gardner, erratic at best, teamed up with Ricardo Rocha. A game which has started in the worst possible way is given a comic interlude when Gardner temporarily redeems himself, accidentally nods in an equaliser and, for a few days, becomes Tottenham Hotspur’s top goalscorer of the season. For Everton, Arteta decides to have the game of his life; the Spurs defence crumbles. Defeat is written in the stars and on the score sheet.
