Tottenham built on their strong form with a third successive win as they beat Everton in north London.

Richarlison and Son Heung-min put Spurs into an early two-goal lead and they seemed on course for a routine victory. But Sean Dyche’s side hit back through Andre Gomes as they piled on late pressure. Spurs, though, held on to claim all three points and climb back into the top four.

Tottenham Hotspur: Vicario, Porro, Romero, Davies, Emerson, Sarr, Skipp, Johnson, Kulusevski, Son, Richarlison. Subs:Hojbjerg, Gil Salvatierra, Dier, Lo Celso, Forster, Phillips, Veliz, Donley, Dorrington.

GOOD SAVE! Everton commit bodies forward in attack only to be caught out on the counter again. Spurs surge forward, with Emerson leading the charge down the left before drilling a shot on goal, but Pickford pushes it away.

Spurs' second change of the game sees Richarlison replaced by Hojbjerg, which means Son will move forward to play through the middle.

OFF THE POST! Harrison curls a cross in with the outside of his boot, and Garner finds a pocket of space to drill his low shot across goal. Vicario is beaten, but his shot skims the side of the post on its way out of play.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Everton

Since winning three Premier League away games in a row against Spurs between 2006-07 and 2008-09, Everton have only picked up seven points in 14 visits there (W1 D4 L9).

Spurs break quickly on the counter once more, and Johnson is starting to find a lot of space down the right. Skipp switches it out to him once more, but his cross is too high for everybody as it bounces out for a throw-in on the far side.

GOOD SAVE! Kulusevski sweeps it out to Johnson on the right, and his first cross is blocked, but it comes straight back to him. This time, he pulls it back to Sarr on the edge of the box, but his shot is blocked by Pickford at the near post.

Spurs are back to keeping possession here, but it's all in front of Everton. Their main aim is to try and regain their earlier rhythm after it was disrupted by the disallowed goal.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Everton

NO GOAL! The referee is asked to go over to the monitor to have a look at the build-up to the goal. It's judged that Gomes fouls Emerson as he dispossesses him, and the goal is ruled out. Safe to say, Dyche isn't happy with that decision at all.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Everton

CALVERT-LEWIN PULLS ONE BACK! Or does he? It's not the best pass from Vicario to Emerson, but he's then caught on the ball by Gomes, who then gets his head up to slide in Calvert-Lewin. He takes the shot first time, firing it low into the bottom corner, but VAR is having a look at this...
