45+5’ – Spurs corner from the left, headed out for another corner on the opposite side. Porro inswinger, and another goal, and it’s van de Ven again! Beats Pickford from point blank range, poor defending once again.
2-0 to Spurs, and Everton really have no answer to these corners getting fizzed in.
45+2’ – Gana fouls Simon in line with the box, on the Everton right. Porro can whip in an inswinger here, it’s Kudus instead and the wall blocks it, corner. Inswinger, Bentancur seems to head it off Grealish,
but it’s still a goalkick.
45’ – Another corner. Garner inswinger from the left, Vicario flaps at it. Eventually comes to Ndiaye who dribbles past Kolo Muani and lays in another cross, a bit deep and Grealish cannot get to it.
Seven minutes to be added on here.
42’ – Ndiaye vs Simon is quite a battle to watch on the Everton right.
39’ – Ndiaye tries to find an advanced Myko with a cross, cut out for a corner. Corner cleared, ball eventually cycled to Garner who tries to find Beto with a cross, also cleared.
Now Ndiaye with a beautiful fizzed cross through the six-yard box, and again Beto doesn’t try to reach the extra yard to make a connection with the goal gaping.
36’ – Now Beto is able to control a bouncing ball and outmuscles Danso, now he has the ball with his back to goal and Vicario is out quick, stops him.
34’ – Grealish sliding challenge gives up a corner. Pickford punches it away, another corner. Spurs keep pumping it into the six-yard box and challenging the Blues to get to it first.
Bentancur fires a shot towards Pickford’s top right corner, just wide, the England #1 was beaten there.
24’ – Garner with a cracking low shot from over 30 yards out and Vicario plays safe, pushes it wide for a corner. KDH inswinger skims in and JAKE O’BRIEN HEADS HOME!! Makes up for his earlier error, 1-1 now!
Nevermind. After a five minute review, Craig Pawson with the help of Stuart Atwell on VAR decides that both Ndiaye and Grealish (who were offside) interfered with Vicario’s ability to make the save. Evertonians are livid, but I feel that is the right decision, it stays 1-0 to Spurs.
18’ – Great interception from Gana and he can spring Beto, but the striker has gone too early and is offside.
Tarky with a lovely sliding challenge to stop Kudus but looks to have tweaked something in his back. He’s up though and ready for the corner.
Taken very very deep, Bentancur heads back across the goal and van de Ven unmarked from one yard out heads home, kind of like Tarky does for the Blues. O’Brien was supposed to be at the post, just watched it go in. Everton were the last Premier League side to have not conceded from a setpiece, and now that record is gone too, Spurs lead 1-0.
13’ – Decent spell here with the ball, ends with a quick Myko cross getting slashed right into the goalie’s hands. Could have looped over his head, but why would we have nice things like that.
Now a long ball that Beto controls, but as he turns past Danso he treads on the defender and loses his footing.
10’ – The visitors are dominating the ball, with 70% of it.
6’ – Spurs with an interesting wrinkle early on. They have both wingers Brennan Johnson and Mohammed Kudus on the right side giving Mykolenko a headache and Garner is moving over to help out.
3’ – Chance!! Ndiaye with a brilliant move down the right, low cross is whiffed by Beto six yards out, falls to Grealish who fires his shot off Porro, falls to Dewsbury-Hall and he blasts wildly over.
1’ – We’re underway at Hill Dickinson Stadium.
A long goalkick from Pickford and Mykolenko and Beto are the most advanced players, but neither can corral the ball and it bounces through to Vicario.
The siren goes off and Z-Cars fills the sparkling new stadium. The weather is absolutely awful with rain sheeting down at times and the wind swirling around.
Starting Lineups
Everton – David Moyes gets Jack Grealish back, and keeps Beto up top. Full bench minus Jarrad Branthwaite.
Tottenham – Thomas Frank keeps Richarlison on the bench for the game against his former side.
Match Preview
Everton are back to the friendly and new confines of Hill Dickinson Stadium looking to pick up another win after their second half debacle at Manchester City last weekend.
The Blues have slipped down the table again after the euphoria of their late win against Crystal Palace has dissipated and the reality of yet another loss at the Etihad has resulted in the Toffees now sitting in 14th place in the table, but also just a win from being in 9th and in the top half again.
Opponents Tottenham Hotspur started the season strong before losing their way somewhat, and a win for the Blues tonight will see the two teams level on points with the North London side having a much more favourable goal difference.
The injury situation remains about the same for the Blues with Jarrad Branthwaite now out long term and Nathan Patterson also out for some time, while James Maddison, Radu Dragusin, Ben Davies, Dejan Kulusevski, Dominic Solanke, Yves Bissouma, Cristian Romero, Destiny Udogie and Kota Takai are all out for the visitors.

Last Meeting
The two sides last met at Goodison Park in January with Everton coming out victors 3-2 in a game they completely dominated in the first half to race into a three-goal lead, before letting the visitors pull back two and make it unnecessarily tight.
