Tottenham Hotspur secured Premier League survival on the final day of the 2025/26 season, defeating Everton 1-0 and thus guaranteeing a 49th consecutive season in the top flight of English football.
The match started with high intensity and with several early chances for Spurs, with Conor Gallagher and João Palhinha coming close to scoring, but without success.
In the first half, Pedro Porro and Rodrigo Bentancur created other chances, while Everton took a risk with Iliman Ndiaye.
The decisive goal came after a corner kick taken by Mathys Tel, where Palhinha hit the post and the ball bounced back to him to send it into the net on the second attempt.
Tottenham Hotspur then controlled the game, holding the lead until the break and throughout the second half, despite increased pressure from Everton.
In the end, decisive saves from Micky van de Ven and goalkeeper Antonín Kinský secured the victory.
After 9 minutes of extra time, the final whistle confirmed Tottenham's survival, while West Ham United were confirmed as the next team to be relegated.
However, the season for Spurs is considered only a starting point of a long rebuilding process, as they finished in 17th place again and missed out on Champions League qualification this time./Express newspaper/
