"Tottenham put themselves on course to become the first visiting team ever to win at Everton's new Hill Dickinson Stadium when Micky van de Ven scored their opener in the Premier League on Sunday. Rodrigo Bentancur sent Mohammed Kudus's corner back across goal for flying full-back van de Ven to nod in after 19 minutes, but there was controversy soon afterwards when Jake O'Brien had an equaliser ruled out when a lengthy Video Assistant Referee (VAR) check ruled that Iliman Ndiaye was offside and had been impeding goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario."
""It's not gone down well," former Manchester United captain Gary Neville told Sky Sports as boos rang out after referee Craig Pawson announced the goal would not stand. "You could almost see the fear in the referee's eyes. I don't think he's ever going to save it, but it's a 50/50 one. "I don't think the VAR officials [were] sure themselves. From the VAR we were hearing, they [were] having a right good look at it.""
Tottenham took the lead at Everton's new Hill Dickinson Stadium when Micky van de Ven nodded in from a Rodrigo Bentancur set-piece after 19 minutes. Everton thought they had equalised through Jake O'Brien, but the goal was disallowed following a lengthy VAR check that found Iliman Ndiaye offside and impeding Spurs goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario. Crowd boos followed referee Craig Pawson's decision. Gary Neville criticised the call and questioned VAR certainty, describing it as a 50/50 decision. Everton started brightly at their new ground and created chances, with Jack Grealish notably going close.
