Everton vs Brentford LIVE: Premier League latest score and goal updates as quickfire double puts Bees ahead at 10-man Toffees
The Bees took the points to leave Frank Lampard’s side just two points above the drop zone
Everton missed the chance to secure its place in the Premier League for another season after having two men sent off in losing 3-2 at home to Brentford on Sunday.
The game turned on an 18th-minute red card to Jarrad Branthwaite for pulling back Ivan Toney, when Everton was leading 1-0 thanks to Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s goal.
Still, Everton — needing a win to guarantee survival — bounced back from conceding an equalizer in the 37th minute because of an own-goal by Seamus Coleman by going ahead again when Richarlison converted a penalty in first-half stoppage time.
Brentford twice in two minutes from the 62nd, through Yoane Wissa and Rico Henry, and substitute Salomon Rondon became the second Everton player to be red-carded after he launched himself studs-first at Henry in the 88th.
Everton stayed two points above the bottom three and has two games remaining, against Crystal Palace at home on Thursday and Arsenal away next Sunday.
Leeds is a point behind Everton and has one game left, at Brentford on the final day, while third-to-last Burnley still has Aston Villa and Newcastle to play.

20 mins: Another intricate corner from Son ends up in the arms of Pope.
Burnley finally find a way out of their own half and earn themselves a throw-in. Then they give it straight back to Tottenham. Surely this pressure is going to tell eventually?

18 mins: How has that not gone in?!
Superb play from Sessegnon as he produces a wonderful cross for Kane at the back post but somehow his header is hooked away on the goal line by a Burnley defender.
Another chance for Spurs! Emerson tries his luck from 30 yards out and Pope has to tip it away for a corner!

16 mins: It’s Lucas again who provides the energy for Spurs as he drives at the Burnley defence before laying it off at the edge of the area. It finds its way to Davies but his shot is straight at Pope.
Burnley give it straight back to Spurs again. It’s one-way traffic at the moment.

14 mins: Another good chance for Spurs. Lucas takes on his marker and stands up a cross for Kane but Pope is equal to his header. Tottenham’s front three giving Burnley all sorts of problems early on here.
Kane goes down a few yards outside the penalty area after a challenge from Brownhill but Kevin Friend tells him to get back to his feet.
Spurs have the ball back again within seconds.

12 mins: Bentancur slides a lovely pass into Lucas. He turns swiftly and fires a deflected shot behind for a corner to Tottenham. They’re tightening the screw already.
Son plays a one-two from the corner and then goes for goal but Pope scrambles across to palm it away at his near post.
Another one-two corner this time comes to nothing as Son fails to pick out a Spurs shirt in the penalty area.

10 mins: Burnley will need to make the ball stick in the final third if they are to relieve the pressure at times today. At the moment it is all Spurs.
Sessegnon heads back across goal for Kane and he is pushed to the ground but the flag was up. The England captain had just strayed a little beyond the Burnley back line.

8 mins: Lucas sends a lofted ball into the middle for Sessegnon but Collins is there to power a header clear. They Burnley centre-back is everywhere in the early stages here.
The first chant of ‘When the Spurs go marching in’ rings out as the quiet atmosphere begins to create a bit of noise.

6 mins: This is going to be a long afternoon for the Burnley defenders if they insist on sitting on the edge of their own box throughout.
Emerson plays a nice ball into Kane inside the penalty area and hs cut back is cleared away by Collins. Some early inroads from Spurs but Burnley not any clear-cut chances for the hosts.
