That’s all from us! I’ll leave you with Andy Hunter’s match report. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou tells Sky Sports: “It is a difficult result. We struggled to really get in the game in the first half and that gave Everton momentum. We gave ourselves a mountain to climb but the players certainly tried to claw the game back but we just fell short.

“We couldn’t really take control of the game. We struggled to get any traction in terms of with and without the ball and that allowed them to get in behind us. We had some chances where we probably should have capitalised early on, but in the end it wasn’t enough.

“We are pretty stretched. We literally had 11 players fit enough to start the game. We weren’t in total control of our organisation and Everton capitalised on that and we paid the price for it. Radu [Dragusin] had to come off because of the deep cut and restructure.

“Second half we had the fair share of the game. We started strongly and I thought Richarlison made a difference and a presence and Mikey Moore gave us something on the left.”
