Park have been drawn. Coincidently Christian Gross's first and last games
in charge of Spurs were both at Goodison Park. Following are the details of
the last five games.

This was a dull game with very little to remember it. Everton had the ball
in the net early on but it was disallowed for offside. Everton had the best
of the first half and the early part of the second half. Towards the end
Spurs came more into the game but did not deserve more than a point.

Spurs almost ended Everton's unbeaten home record for the season before
succumbing to a late equaliser.
Everton had a couple of early chances with Jeffers heading over and
Unsworth hitting the bar with along range shot.
There was a flurry of goals midway through the first half. Everton opened
the scoring after Hutchison crossed in the box for Kevin Campbell to head
home. Two minutes later Spurs were level. Sherwood hit a free kick into the
penalty box where Sol Campbell headed on. Goalkeeper Gerrard pushed the
ball against the post where it rebounded for Armstrong following up to
equalise.
Four minutes later Spurs wre ahead. A Ginola shot hit the Everton defender
Watson and took a strange bounce looping over goalkeeper Gerrard. Spurs had
a further chance in the first half but could not add to their lead.
Everton came back in the second half. After Ginola was substituted the
pressure on Spurs increased. It looked as though Spurs would hold out.
However a long throw in by Pembridge, in the final minute deceived the
Spurs defenders. The ball reached the American striker Joe-Max Moore who
had just come on seven minutes earlier and he stroked home the equaliser.

Spurs finally won a game having lost the first two games of the season.
However it was not enough to save manager Christian Gross's job and he was
sacked the following week. Ironically his first game in charge had been the
corresponding fixture last season which Spurs also won.
Spurs took the lead early on when Ferdinand rose above the Everton defence
to head home a Ginola cross.
Spurs had another good opportunity in the first half when Carr went close.
Spurs had a definite penalty claim denied in the second half when referee
Jones waved aside their claims despite the fact that Unsworth had brought
down Ginola from behind in the penalty box.
Espen Baardsen replaced Ian Walker in goal and made a number of outstanding
saves including one from Cadamarteri and another from a Dacourt free kick.
On one occasion in the second half Ferguson put the ball in the net but the
effort was disallowed for offside. Overall Spurs earned their victory.

Christian Gross piloted Spurs to a fine away win in his first game in
charge of Spurs. It ended a run of four defeats for Spurs while it was the
fifth consecutive defeat for Everton. Both teams were struggling at the
wrong end of the table.
Carl Tiler and Mitch Ward recently signed from Sheffield United made their
debuts for Everton. Clive Wilson had to clear off the line for Spurs in the
first minute after an Everton corner. Later in the first half Barmby hit
the bar with a dipping shot.
Midway through the second half the game appeared destined for a goalless
draw. However Vega opened the scoring for Spurs with a diving header
following a cross by Sinton which was backheaded to Vega by Fox.. Ginola
made sure of the points with a fine solo goal four minutes later. He
received the ball around the halfway line on the left wing and ran for
thirty yards working his way in before scoring with a hard shot high into
the net, which beat Neville Southall making his 750th appearance for
Everton goal.
After the game the disgruntled Everton supporters held a demonstration
against chairman Peter Johnson..

Referee: G S Willard (Worthing, W Sussex).
Managers: Gerry Francis (Tottenham), Dave Watson (Everton)
Everton achieved their first win under caretaker player-manager in his
third game since replacing the sacked Joe Royle. It still represents their
only win to date against Spurs in the Premiership.
The only goal came early in the game from a Gary Speed header following a
cross on the right from Speed. Soon after both Sheringham and Nielsen had
opportunities for Spurs but failed to score.
Referee Gary Willard had a card happy day booking nine players including
six from the home team.
In the 28th minute Stuart beat the offside trap and set up Ferguson but the
latter shot weakly and Walker saved.
All three Spurs' substitutions Nielsen, Scales and Carr were as a result of
injuries and Fox also finished up limping.
There was plenty of action in the second half. Barmby had a good
opportunity for Everton but hit the side netting. Then a Sheringham free
kick was cleared off the line by Watson. Fenn followed up but his shot was
saved by Southall. Shortly afterwards Ferguson was clear in the penalty box
but again Walker saved.
This win eased Everton's relegation fears.
