Everton snatched a point against Tottenham after Jarrad Branthwaite’s stoppage-time equaliser in a dramatic 2-2 draw in the Premier League.

The Toffees fought back twice after Richarlison’s sublime brace to deny Spurs in their bid to pull level with north London rivals Arsenal in third.

Sean Dyche’s side showed immense character to fight back, first through Jack Harrison and then Branthwaite’s brave header at the far post in the 94th minute, colliding with Spurs goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario as the ball hit the back of the net.

The Toffees move outside the relegation zone temporarily, on goal difference, with Luton Town dropping into the bottom three.

GOAL! From the resulting free-kick on the left, Romero heads it backwards towards goal. Branthwaite arrives to it to bundle it into the back of the net, and Goodison goes wild.

It’s being checked for offside but it looks good.

The atmosphere is getting more fierce here as Everton feel they should have had a penalty and a couple of free-kicks.

Unsurprisingly, Richarlison is given man of the match as his two goals look set to win the game for Spurs against his old side.

Honourable mention goes to Maddison, who is returning to form after his long injury layoff, and van de Ven, who’s been impressive in defence.

We’re approaching seven minutes of added time. Spurs’s substitutions seem to have lost them some control in midfield.

Everton attack and Harrison hits a first time cross into the box. Beto is dragged down by Dragusin and there are shouts for a penalty, but they’re waved away.

Pierre-Emile Højbjerg comes off for Spurs’s new signing Radu Dragusin.

Everton are keeping the ball better in places, but still can’t find that quality cross or final pass.

That is until Dobbin clips a lovely ball into the centre of the box. Chermiti meets it first-time, attempting to finish with the outside of his foot, but it rolls straight to Vicario.

McNeil’s corners haven’t been as threatening this half, and Vicario catches another. Everton seem to have changed their routine.

Calvert-Lewin is replaced by Beto, and McNeil comes off for Lewis Dobbin. That makes 17 games without a goal for the England hopeful.

For Spurs, Maddison and Werner come off for Oliver Skipp and Bryan Gil.

The game is threatening to peter out as we enter the last 10 minutes. A lot of the action is happening in the middle of the park rather than near either side’s box.

Everton have had 12 shots to spurs’ nine, but only three on target to Spurs’ six. It’s clear where their problem lies.

Everton v Tottenham

Both sides are struggling to keep possession at the moment, with no real chances in the last 10 minutes. Just as Spurs threaten, Werner puts in a poor cross from the left that clears every Spurs player.

Everton use this break to make a substitution, with Ashley Young coming off for Youssef Chermiti.
