Tottenham built on their strong form with a third successive win as they beat Everton in north London.

Richarlison and Son Heung-min put Spurs into an early two-goal lead and they seemed on course for a routine victory. But Sean Dyche’s side hit back through Andre Gomes as they piled on late pressure. Spurs, though, held on to claim all three points and climb back into the top four.

Danjuma breaks down the left, and he has support getting up with him in the box. Instead of looking for Beto, he tries to go it alone, only to drill his shot against Dier, though he does win a corner.

Everton's final change sees Beto coming on for the last 10 minutes plus stoppage time in place of Onana.

WIDE! Mykolenko threads it forward for Garner, who squares it into Gomes' feet when the midfielder's run isn't picked up. Instead of going across goal, he tries to catch out Vicario at his near post, only to fire it into the side netting.

GREAT SAVE! It's brilliant work from Kulusevski, who just wants it more than Patterson as he nudges him away from the ball. He the takes the shot before Tarkowski can slide in, but Pickford reacts quickly to tip it wide of the near post.

Yellow Card André Filipe Tavares Gomes

Third change for Spurs now, and it's another attacking player coming on as Lo Celso replaces Sarr.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Everton

Everton's frustration is starting to show a little bit now as Mykolenko gets tight to Porro to stop his run. He's got his hands all over the right-back to stop his run, and he gives away a free-kick.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Everton

Everton win their fifth corner of the game, and McNeil whips this one right on top of the keeper. He just about manages to punch it away with Branthwaite in front of him, but the referee deems that a foul before Garner can pick out a follow-up cross.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Everton

There's a bit of a scramble in Spurs' box with players from both sides struggling to get a toe to the ball. Calvert-Lewin comes closest to tapping it towards goal, but Davies hooks it away just in time.
