After Everton's draw 2-2, Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou felt goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario deserved more respect from referee Michael Oliver.

The Premier League never fails to entertain, and last weekend was no different, as we saw a chaotic few days of action. We were treated to 30 goals in ten enthralling games, a slew of fun times, and, of course, there was also VAR drama. With five goals, two reds cards, and a slew of tense VAR calls, this culminated in Monday's London derby between Tottenham and Chelsea, which will go down as one of the most exciting Premier League matches of all time.

Dwight McNeil of Everton has revealed a pre-season pow-wow involving players and workers that has raised Sean Dyche's side's high hopes so far. Everton, who escaped relegation in May on the final day of the season, faces Brighton at Goodison on Saturday in search of their sixth victory in eight different competitions.

Everton defeated Stoke City 2-0 in an away friendly ahead of the new Premier League season. With new signing Arnaut Danjuma making his first appearance for the Toffees after joining on loan earlier this month, Sean Dyche's squad put a tough fight on display. Starting Nathan Patterson, Michael Keane, James Tarkowski, and new signing Ashley Young from Aston Villa, Dyche went for a 4-3-3 formation against the Championship team.

Everton has introduced their new home kit ahead of the 2023-24 Premier League season, and it's by farewell from last year. For the first time in a decade, the shirt, which was made by one of the club's technical partners, hummel, has a collar. The popular Archibald Leitch pattern has been weaved into the white collar, and the same pattern is used on the sleeves. Dwight McNeil, a Toffee winger, has praised the scheme and is looking forward to debuting the new shirt next term.

On Sunday, you could hardly blame supporters of Everton, Leeds, and Leicester City if they were to follow the example set by Toffees winger Dwight McNeil. McNeil decided to swerve the televised matches involving Everton's relegation rivals because so much is at stake in the fight for survival. Rather, Michael Jordan's uplifting basketball documentary The Last Dance dominated his life. I love watching football.' I'll normally watch any sport, but those two - I just couldn't,' McNeil says. I didn't see Leeds on the Sunday, but I was out with my missus for the afternoon.' We decided to watch the film and see the outcome afterwards on Monday night [Leicester at Newcastle].'

Given the tense stakes, Everton winger Dwight McNeil thought it was prudent to postpone last weekend's matches involving their relegation rivals a swerve last weekend. The decision to watch Michael Jordan's inspirational basketball documentary The Last Dance rather than sticking to Sky Sports paid dividends, considering McNeil's findings, it was good news. Everton's destiny is in their own hands going into today's last round of crucial games, following Leeds United's defeat at West Ham and Leicester's draw with Newcastle.
