There's a break in play as Porro is down on the grass holding his calf! The Spurs full-back is okay to continue as Spurs resume play with a free-kick.

McNeil created an impressive five chances for Everton during that first half, though his side failed to register a single shot on target. Dyche will hope his attackers will be decisive with the chances that come their way in this second period!

Spurs break quickly and win a corner kick. Kulusevski takes it, but Mykolenko deals with the danger! You can see the home side are not settling for a 2-0 lead here.

Maddison almost gets on the end of a free-kick into the box, but the Tottenham midfielder fails to get a proper connection and Pickford collects safely!

Spurs are straight onto the attack with Odobert winning a corner. It is dealt with by the Everton defender with Doucoure trying to launch a counter, but failing to find Mykolenko!

We are back underway for the second half at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

It was pretty much all Tottenham in that first half against Everton as the home side registered nine shots, of which five were on target.

Tottenham go into the interval with a well-deserved 2-0 lead against Everton in their second outing of the 2024-25 Premier League season. Postecoglou's side began the game strongly with Romero testing Pickford early. And there was nothing the Everton goalkeeper could do when Bissouma produced a stunning strike in the 14th minute to hand the hosts the advantage. Dyche's side fell further behind in the 25th minute as Son capitalised on a weak first touch from Pickford, dispossessing the keeper and firing into an open goal to make it 2-0. The Toffees managed to put some pressure on Tottenham towards the end of the first period by winning a string of corners, but the visitors have their work cut out to find a way back into this fixture and avoid a second defeat on the trot!

Tottenham end the first half just like they started it, with Porro's left-foot strike from outside the box flying wide of Pickford's goal!
