Tottenham defender Micky van de Ven continues to impress under Thomas Frank, with his latest performance against Everton further proving just how crucial he has become for Spurs this season.

Micky van de Ven managed zero goals throughout the whole of last season, yet this term he is already halfway to double figures with five goals to his name.

A brace against Everton in Tottenham’s last Premier League outing ensured that Frank’s captain on the day guided Spurs to only their second win in their last five matches.

It was also a crucial victory for Tottenham, who took advantage of the slip-ups from Chelsea, Manchester City and Liverpool, all of whom lost in their respective matchday nine encounters.

It was indeed a complete display from Micky van de Ven, who was absolutely dominant in both boxes for Thomas Frank’s side, and the statistics back that up.

Van de Ven was named man of the match against Everton and received the highest rating on FotMob for his performance, with a 9.1/10.

The Dutchman not only bagged a brace but was also solid defensively in his own box, leading from the back with seven clearances, five of which were headed, while also making three interceptions...
