Micky Van de Ven throws a cheeky dig at manager Thomas Frank in a hilarious interview after 3-0 win at Everton.

Tottenham continued their impressive run of form with a commanding 3–0 victory over Everton at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, and it was defender Micky van de Ven who stole the headlines — both for his dominant display on the pitch and his playful post-match comments aimed at manager Thomas Frank.

The Dutch centre-back was immense throughout the match, scoring twice from set pieces and leading a backline that kept another clean sheet. Tottenham’s intensity and precision were too much for David Moyes’ Everton, who struggled to cope with the visitors’ pace and organization.

Van de Ven opened the scoring in the 22nd minute with a powerful header from a corner before doubling Spurs’ advantage 16 minutes later with another well-timed run into the box. Pape Matar Sarr completed the rout late in the second half with a composed finish following a slick passing move.

After the game, Van de Ven couldn’t resist throwing a cheeky dig at his manager during a light-hearted interview. Smiling, he said:

“The boss has been on us all week about set-pieces — I think I finally made him happy today. I told him he can relax a bit now; maybe I’ll let the strikers do their job next time.”

The remark drew laughter from reporters and fans, showing the strong team spirit within the Tottenham squad under Thomas Frank’s management. Van de Ven later praised his manager’s tactical influence and the team’s preparation.

“We’ve been working hard on those routines,” he added. “The deliveries were perfect, and everyone knew their role. It’s great to see it pay off like this.”

Thomas Frank, meanwhile, hailed Van de Ven’s performance, describing him as “a leader at the back” and “a player with a winning mentality.”

The win at the Hill Dickinson Stadium extends Tottenham’s unbeaten run and cements their push for a top-four finish. With Van de Ven leading by example and the squad playing with confidence and purpose, Spurs are starting to look like genuine contenders once again.
