Everton vs Brentford LIVE: Premier League latest score and goal updates as quickfire double puts Bees ahead at 10-man Toffees
The Bees took the points to leave Frank Lampard’s side just two points above the drop zone
Everton missed the chance to secure its place in the Premier League for another season after having two men sent off in losing 3-2 at home to Brentford on Sunday.
The game turned on an 18th-minute red card to Jarrad Branthwaite for pulling back Ivan Toney, when Everton was leading 1-0 thanks to Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s goal.
Still, Everton — needing a win to guarantee survival — bounced back from conceding an equalizer in the 37th minute because of an own-goal by Seamus Coleman by going ahead again when Richarlison converted a penalty in first-half stoppage time.
Brentford twice in two minutes from the 62nd, through Yoane Wissa and Rico Henry, and substitute Salomon Rondon became the second Everton player to be red-carded after he launched himself studs-first at Henry in the 88th.
Everton stayed two points above the bottom three and has two games remaining, against Crystal Palace at home on Thursday and Arsenal away next Sunday.
Leeds is a point behind Everton and has one game left, at Brentford on the final day, while third-to-last Burnley still has Aston Villa and Newcastle to play.
HT: Tottenham 1-0 Burnley
It was never in any doubt. Harry Kane puts Tottenham in front from the penalty spot.
Can Burnley respond in the second half?
HT: Tottenham 1-0 Burnley
Half-time: That’s the last kick of the first half. Harry Kane has settled the nerves inside this stadium from the penalty spot after a handball from Ashley Barnes just before the break.
The Burnley players and staff are furious with referee Kevin Friend. Spurs won’t care. They lead at the break thanks to their talisman. He has now scored his last 21 penalties for Tottenham.
GOAL! Tottenham 1-0 Burnley (Kane, 45+8)
45+8 mins: GOAL! Was it ever in any doubt? Harry Kane puts it into the bottom left corner as Nick Pope stood still.
HUGE goal for Tottenham.

45+7 mins: It was actually Ashley Barnes, not Jack Cork, whose arm it hit. He is furious. Harry Kane is preparing to step up.

45+6 mins: PENALTY! Kevin Friend didn’t take long. Here we go then.
Tottenham 0-0 Burnley
45+5 mins: The ball has hit Jack Cork on the arm after Sanchez flicked the ball on. It looks ominous for Burnley. His arm was outstretched and in an unnatural position.
Kevin Friend is going over to the monitor. You know what that means.
Tottenham 0-0 Burnley
45+4 mins: HUGE CHANCE! Lucas does sensationally to beat his man on the right side and Kane puts his shot wide from 10 yards!
But hang on... penalty shout.
Tottenham 0-0 Burnley
45+2 mins: Pope takes a full minute with the goal kick as whistles and jeers ring out around the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
It’s straight back with Spurs and Bentancur tries his luck from range but that’s another effort that is always heading off target. Conte furious with that one.
Pope gets a talking to by referee Kevin Friend after another lengthy goal kick routine. All part of the performance for the visitors.
Tottenham 0-0 Burnley
45 mins: Four minutes of stoppage time to be played at the end of the first half. Most of it due to the injury sustained to Maxwel Cornet.
Kane tries to find Lucas inside the penalty area but Lowton cuts it out. Burnley have defended superbly inside their own box so far.
Kane then works some space on the edge of the area and goes for goal but it’s always drifting well wide of Pope’s right-hand post.
