Everton vs Tottenham LIVE: Result and reaction from Premier League after late drama
Cristian Stellini takes charge of Spurs in their first game since Conte’s departure against Sean Dyche’s Toffees
Tottenham Hotspur begin life after Antonio Conte with a trip to face Everton this evening.
Spurs elected to move on from the Italian manager during the international break a week after Conte labelled the club’s players as lacking in “fight” and “desire” in an explosive press conference that seemed destined to end his time in north London.
Interim boss Cristian Stellini has recent touchline experience, covering for Conte during a health-related absence earlier in the season, but faces a tough test first up against an Everton side strengthened under Sean Dyche.
With eight sides appearing to be in the relegation battle, a point or more against a visiting side in transition seems feasible and could be vital.
We will bring you all the action and updates from tonight's game in the live blog below:

There are big shouts for a handball from the Everton fans and players against Porro. The wing-back's arms were tight to his side when Mykolenko's cross struck him though, and the referee quickly waves off the penalty claims.
