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.

Spurs are upping the pressure once more, and Son picks out Kulusevski's overlapping run down the right with a lovely flick. He wins a corner, but Porro hits the first man with his delivery.

Onana wraps his arms around Emerson to stop his run through the middle. He can have no arguments with that yellow card.

Gueye lunged in on Sarr to win the ball back but ended up catching Richarlison with the follow-through. He hurt himself in the challenge, and now goes down in need of treatment.

Gueye dinks another long ball over the top, this time with Garner chasing it down. Vicario comes out of his box again, a little more hesitant than last time, but clears his lines comfortably.

CHANCE! There were a few hearts in mouths for the Spurs fans then as Vicario raced out of his box to clear a long ball before McNeil. His header falls straight to Calvert-Lewin, who goes for the long-range strike at the empty goal, but it flies wide.

GREAT SAVE! Everton are growing back into this game here, and Mykolenko finds space down the left to clip a good cross into the box. Calvert-Lewin gets in front of Davies to thump a header at goal, but Vicario tips it wide.

Patterson goes for the direct route again for the visitors, and Calvert-Lewin does well to hold off Skipp long enough to bring it down. He lays it off to Onana, who tries a one-two with McNeil, but the return cross is fizzed straight out of play.
