Everton vs Tottenham Hotspur final score and reaction

Half-time Everton player ratings

Jordan Pickford 7

Had to be alert early on to save Pedro Porro’s shot from an angle with his feet and then late on from Son – who was offside – but he wasn’t to know.

Seamus Coleman 7

Smart in tight areas when defending while offering a willing outlet going forward, asking his fair share of questions.

Ben Godfrey 6

Displaying the athleticism you expect from him but could be more composed at times although he went close with a shot that Eric Dier deflected wide.

Michael Keane 7

Assured aerial display at the back so far and caught an early half-volley sweetly that he fired just over at the other end.

James Tarkowski 8

Strong and commanding in both boxes, he and Keane are up against one of the best in the business in Harry Kane but they shackled him well during the first 45 minutes.

Idrissa Gueye 7

Working hard to cut things out in the engine room while also trying to get forward when he can.

Abdoulaye Doucoure 7

Not quite the imperious kind of display of recent weeks but nevertheless putting in a proper shift.

Amadou Onana 8

Back from an international break that saw him finish Belgian’s win in Germany as captain, he has shown some clever touches so far.

Alex Iwobi 6

A willing runner, his efforts always ensure he’s an outlet down the right but decision-making sometimes lets him down with Spurs almost profiting on one occasion he surrendered possession cheaply.

Dwight McNeil 7

Disciplined and hard-working, his best work so far has been when defending, making a crucial hooked clearance when Porro was ready to pounce.

Demarai Gray 7

Sean Dyche’s ‘unorthodox’ centre-forward, he’s zipped in and around the penalty area and continues to offer nuisance value with his fancy footwork but perhaps should have done better with an early chance that came his way but was off-target.
