Pienaar is back, giving Everton a bit more width. Yak is the only fit striker available but within 5 minutes, Yak is out of the game as he landed akwardly.
On the break, Fellaini had two bites of the cherry. One was an opening outside the penalty area. The opposing goalkeeper could only perry the ball. A layoff from Ossie saw the ball reached Fellaini once again but was cleared away by the Tottenham defender. 38th minute.
In the 43rd minute, Timmy provided a cross from the left and Saha rose to meet the ball. But it was save albeit unconvincingly by the Tottenham goalkeeper.
What a nonsensical goal! Tottenham was complaining about the freekick given Everton's way. As they spoke, the ball was passed to Pienaar on the left and he struck the ball towards goal. A deflection and the ball went pass the Tottenham goalkeeper in the 50th minute. Tottenham 0-1 Everton.
More pressure in the 6oth minute as Pienaar strikes the ball towards goal, parried by the opposing goalkeeper. Another striker out. Saha just fell to the ground in the 70th minute. Anichebe comes in for Saha.
Great stretch by Howard to push the ball out in the 72nd minute. Final change by Everton on 88th minute. Bainsey on for Ossie. Good pass from Fellaini after using his body strength to win the ball. Fellaini then passed the ball to Anichebe who stuck the ball well, though just wide off the post.
There was further 6 minutes of extra time, and Everton just held on to the solitary-goal lead. Anichebe even had the chance to trouble the opposing goalkeeper just before the final whistle. Solid play by Pienaar and Jag at the back.
