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.

It's another lovely sweeping Spurs move through the middle of the pitch, but their final pass is just letting them down at the moment. Son looks to thread it out to Johnson but overhits it straight out of play.

Spurs have started the half on the front foot, and are helped by a loose pass out from Tarkowski as he gifts it to Skipp. He switches it out to Emerson, who tries to feed Kulusevski, but he's sandwiched between two defenders and can't control it.

Postecoglou will be the happier of the two managers at half-time, but given the problems that Everton have caused them, he won't be sitting comfortably at this stage. After Son's goal, they didn't manage a single shot, and he'll want them to get their attacking threat back. Everton have shown good signs despite being behind, and Dyche will know that the next goal could change everything, his side just need to be more clinical.

Spurs are in control at the break with a 2-0 lead over Everton. They got off to a bright start, with Richarlison tapping in Johnson's cross from close range to put Spurs ahead against his former club. Just under 10 minutes later, they doubled their lead as Son was on hand to drill in the rebound of Johnson's saved shot. Everton have had chances though, with Vicario having to make good saves to deny Calvert-Lewin, Garner and Harrison.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Everton

McNeil swings a deep corner into the box that clears everyone, but some of the Everton players are just asking a question of the referee. Kulusevski has a fistful of Onana's shirt to stop him jumping, but nothing's given.
