Micky van de Ven stepped up as an unlikely hero for Tottenham Hotspur with a decisive double to secure an impressive away win against Everton.
With captain Cristian Romero sidelined, the 6ft 4in Dutch defender took the captain's armband and responded with two headers from set-pieces, taking his season tally to five goals—making him the club’s current top scorer.
The victory helped Spurs climb to third in the table and maintain their strong start to the season under Thomas Frank, proving their resilience even when key attacking players are missing.
Van de Ven’s performance has been highlighted as a crucial factor in their unexpected title challenge.
