Everton picked up a point on Sunday afternoon as they drew 0-0 with Tottenham Hotspur – and fans were impressed with the display of Fabian Delph.

The Toffees have been disappointing of late, losing three in a row at the hands of West Ham United, Watford and Wolves.

Maybe it’s just a curse of playing teams beginning with W, as Everton avoided defeat against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday afternoon.

Everton may feel a little aggrieved after having a Richarlison penalty overturned by VAR, but will be glad to have ended that losing run.

Everton fans praise Delph

There were some impressive performances for Everton on the day, with midfielder Delph earning praise.

Delph hasn’t always been a popular Everton player since his 2019 move from Manchester City.

The 31-year-old has often been injured or out of form since joining the club, playing just 24 league games before this season.

Delph is though featuring in Rafael Benitez’s side right now, and proving some Everton fans wrong along the way.

Everton supporters took to Twitter to suggest that Delph was ‘unreal’ against Tottenham.

Others felt Delph was ‘brilliant’ and ‘excellent’, believing his work in midfield is just what Everton have needed.

Some admitted they never thought they would see the day that Delph was this good, but Toffees fans are giving him the praise he deserves.
