De Zerbi says saving Spurs is his ‘biggest achievement’ after season of suffering

• Win against Everton keeps club in Premier League

• Van de Ven admits situation is still ‘embarrassing’

Roberto De Zerbi said he and Tottenham had suffered until the last second of the Premier League season but described the club’s successful fight against relegation as the highlight of his career.

Spurs recorded a 1-0 home win against Everton on a nervy and emotional final day to ensure they finished two points above West Ham, who went down despite beating Leeds 3-0 at the London Stadium.
