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:

SAVE! The resulting corner is swung into the box for Everton and Keane rises highest at the far post. He thumps his header down, but Lloris is well-placed to hold onto it.

GREAT SAVE! Spurs just can't clear their lines as Everton continue to up the pressure. Gueye is teed up on the edge of the box and he rifles a shot on goal that Lloris has to tip over.

After being put under a lot of pressure in the last few minutes, Spurs manage to break out of their own half, with Porro leading the charge down the right. He whips it in but hits the side netting.
