Tottenham’s winless and goalless start to the Premier League season continued with a 0-0 draw at home to unbeaten Everton.
It is the first time Spurs have failed to score in any of their first four league games of a season, while it is now over 400 minutes since their last Premier League goal.
Following last weekend's goalless draw at Nottingham Forest, it was another toothless display from Roberto De Zerbi's new-look, expensively assembled side, who were booed off at the full-time whistle.

A disgruntled home crowd watched their side have just two shots on target - the first a weak second-half effort from Mateus Fernandes met with ironic cheers - create one big chance and register a paltry expected goals of 0.64.
Everton had the better moments to earn their first away league win since February, but ex-Spurs winger Brennan Johnson blazed a great second-half chance, while earlier, Spurs goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky nearly gifted Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall an opener.
The Toffees weathered Spurs' early storm as the home side had four shots in the opening 10 minutes, with Jan Paul van Hecke missing a great close-range chance.
But the defender's fifth-minute effort proved to be Tottenham's best opportunity as De Zerbi's side became the first Spurs team to go four league games without a goal in 20 years.
The key moments from north London...
5: SPURS GO CLOSE! Jan Paul van Hecke puts over Andy Robertson's free-kick from close range.
45+1: KINSKY SAVES! The first shot on target of the game is produced by Everton's James Garner from a long-range free-kick, which is palmed away by Antonin Kinsky.
HALF TIME: No shot on target for Tottenham, who fail to score in the first half for a 26th Premier League game since the start of last season.
47: FIRST SPURS SHOT ON TARGET! Mateus Fernandes' weak low shot is straight at Jordan Pickford, but it brings ironic cheers from the Spurs fans.
50: KINSKY SAVES! Thierno Barry's back-post header is saved by Kinsky, who didn't know much about it.
66: KINSKY GETS LUCKY! The Spurs goalkeeper passes it straight to Dewsbury-Hall but he hits his shot straight at Kinsky.
89: FROM ZERO TO HERO FOR PICKFORD! The Everton goalkeeper gives the ball away to allow Lucas Bergvall a shot, which he superbly saves.
