Betting company Paddy Power have paid out on Everton to be relegatred just two games into the Premier League season.
Sean Dyche’s side are bottom of the top flight with no points from their first two games and a goal difference of minus seven following another loss on Saturday.
Tottenham ran riot in the capital as they stormed to a 4-0 win to earn their first win of the campaign, with captain Son Heung-min netting twice in the game.
Other goals came from Yves Bissouma and Cristian Romero, with Jordan Pickford also to blame for one goal as he was caught out on the ball before Son netted.
And Paddy Power have seen enough – already paying out on bets for the Toffees to be playing Championship football next season just a matter of days after this one started.

‘EARLY PAYOUT,’ the official Paddy Power X (formerly Twitter) account posted, accompanied by two siren emojis.
‘After today’s hammering, we thought we’d save everyone the bother of waiting… So, we’ve paid out early on EVERTON TO BE RELEGATED!
‘SINGLES & MULTIPLES. ONLINE & RETAIL. NO MAX STAKE. Settlements will be processed shortly.’
The Toffees were lining up with a depleted squad on Saturday, which included debutant Roman Dixon, 19, at right back.
Ashley Young was suspended, while Jarrad Branthwaite is injured and James Tarkowski was a fitness doubt going into the game.
Spurs duly obliged to the opportunities that presented themselves, however, and were clinical in front of goal as Sean Dyche worked to patch up his defence.
Dyche and Co will be back at home next week in the final match before the first international break of the season, taking on Bournemouth before trips to Aston Villa and Leicester.

It also remains unclear whether the Toffees could be set to face a points deduction once again this season
It also, meanwhile, remains unclear whether the Toffees will be handed a points deduction for the third campaign in a row at some point this season.
The Toffees were hit with a staggering 10-point deduction for breaching the Premier League’s profit and sustainability rules (PSR) last November for an infraction in the 2021-22 season.
The deduction was slashed to six points after an appeal, only for Everton to be docked two further points in April for overspending in the 2022-23 campaign.
According to The Sun, the Premier League believes Everton went out of the PSR parameters by another £6.5million in the 2022-23 season.
