OVER! It only takes a couple of passes to cut through Everton this time, as Davies goes long to Son, who picks out Emerson's overlap. He fizzes it into Johnson at the first post, but he lifts his first-time effort over the bar. Pickford is furious with his defenders for how easy that was.

That goal has settled Spurs a little bit and they're looking a lot more comfortable in possession. They're knocking it around neatly, but it's all in front of Everton at the moment.

The referee plays an advantage to Spurs when Son goes down, but they can't use it as Skipp is dispossessed. Harrison quickly breaks on the counter and spreads it out to Calvert-Lewin, but Romero slides in to stop him from getting a shot away.

Tarkowski cuts out Porro's throughball and instantly tries to catch out Spurs with a long ball over the top. His pass is played between McNeil and Calvert-Lewin though, and neither can get close to it.

SAVE! The corner is only half-cleared by Spurs, and it falls kindly for Garner on the edge of the box. Like Sarr at the other end, he doesn't catch it cleanly and the low shot is comfortably saved by Vicario.

It's a poor clearance from Porro, and McNeil is right in front of him to cut it out. He darts down the left, but the Spaniard recovers well to get back and block the cross for a corner.

SAVE! Davies slides a lovely throughball down the left for Kulusevski, who has time to get his head up and spot Sarr's late run. He meets the cross first time but fires his volley into the ground and it loops into Pickford's gloves.
