Following Ange Postecoglou’s dismissal, Tottenham Hotspur endured a rather tense season, suffering defeats for most of the campaign that left them fighting to avoid relegation to the EFL Championship. Despite the competitiveness, Roberto de Zerbi’s team managed to secure a draw against Everton, ensuring their place in the Premier League for another season. With Arsenal as champions and Spurs avoiding disaster, the 2025–26 standings are now finalized.
Even though Everton had absolutely nothing at stake in this match, they still delivered a highly competitive performance. In the middle of a rather inconsistent season, they were looking to finish on a positive note, aiming to prepare properly for the next campaign and improve their competitiveness. Nevertheless, Tottenham’s urgency and pressure made the difference, allowing them to secure the result expected by supporters.
After the disappointments under Thomas Frank and Igor Tudor, Spurs decided to take a radical turn, committing to a long-term project by placing Roberto De Zerbi in charge. Although he did not seem like the most promising option to avoid relegation, the Italian head coach managed to build a promising squad, making the team quite solid defensively while implementing a highly exciting style of play.

With a sporting project built over the long term, they managed to surpass Manchester City in the league and are set to face PSG in the UEFA Champions League, with the chance to secure a historic campaign. Following all 38 matchdays, the 2025–26 standings have now taken shape.
