Tottenham 2-0 Everton LIVE! Spurs rise continues - Premier League result, match stream, latest updates today

Harry Kane’s second-half penalty on his 400th appearance for Tottenham Hotspur helped them to a 2-0 win over Everton to cement their place in the Premier League top four on Saturday.

Everton had defended resolutely and wasted a couple of gilt-edged chances but when their goalkeeper Jordan Pickford brought down England team mate Kane just before the hour mark the striker made no mistake from the spot.

Tottenham dominated after the break and Kane was then involved in a flowing move that ended with Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg wrapping up the points in the 86th minute.

Everton rarely looked like getting back into the game after going behind and have now managed only one victory in their last 20 Premier League games against Spurs.

Tottenham, who have won all seven home games in all competitions this season, moved level on 23 points with second-placed Manchester city who visit Liverpool on Sunday. Leaders Arsenal have 24 points.

Everton are 14th with 10 points from 10 games

Tottenham clicking into gear under Antonio Conte

19:59 , Jonathan Gorrie

Tottenham earned a third win in a week to suggest Antonio Conte’s side are beginning to click into gear nicely, following an effective but largely disjointed start to the campaign.

A 2-0 win over Everton maintained Spurs’ 100 percent home record and moved them to within a point of league leaders Arsenal and level with Manchester City.

Conte’s side are steadily making their home ground a fortress and continuing to find a way past difficult opponents following last week’s 1-0 win at Brighton and the midweek Champions League victory over Frankfurt.

Tottenham player ratings: Bentancur excellent; Bissouma turning point

19:39 , Jonathan Gorrie

Tottenham closed the gap to Arsenal to a point with a 2-0 win over Everton, sealed by second half goals from Harry Kane and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.

Kane quickly banished the memory of his late penalty miss against Frankfurt here on Wednesday, winning and converting a spot-kick on the hour after he was caught by Jordan Pickford.

Hojbjerg wrapped up the win with a deflected effort four minutes from time as Spurs maintained their 100 percent home record this season.

19:38 , Jonathan Gorrie

Harry Kane marked his 400^thTottenham appearance with a penalty against Everton.

For an hour, Spurs largely looked comfortable without causing Frank Lampard’s side too many problems, albeit did concede two good chances to Demarai Gray and Amadou Onana, both of whom should have scored on the break.

Still, and while losing Richarlison to injury was disappointing, Antonio Conte’s enforced tactical tweak to bring Yves Bissouma on and revert to the 3-5-2 system used at Brighton last week gave his side much more of a base from which to build attacks.

19:16 , Jonathan Gorrie

85:00 - The midfielder finishes calmly after good work from Bentancur

All about game management

19:13 , Jonathan Gorrie

83:00 - That in itself will scare Spurs fans even despite’s Everton’s lack of bite, given what happened in midweek.

All out from Everton

Everton haven’t shown much

19:06 , Jonathan Gorrie

76:00 - They of course remain in the game but very little has come since those chances in the first-half.

CHANCE FOR TOTTENHAM!

19:00 , Jonathan Gorrie

70:00 - Kane swivels on a shot and fires at Pickford, who again fumbles. This time, it came to nothing.

Everton changes

18:55 , Jonathan Gorrie

3-5-2 has helped

18:51 , Jonathan Gorrie

61:00 - Losing Richarlison is obviously a blow but Bissouma has given the midfield much more freedom.

Dan Kilpatrick at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

18:50 , Jonathan Gorrie

Everton can’t have any complaints, even if Kane appeared to already be on the way down when Pickford’s head made contact with his thigh. The England captain converts to banish the memory of his miss from the spot against Frankfurt.

58:00 - Kane shakes off his miss in midweek and scores!

PENALTY TO SPURS

57:00 - Pickford brings down Kane after spilling Doherty’s shot.

CHANCE FOR SPURS

18:46 , Jonathan Gorrie

55:00 - Good move from Spurs sees Perisic cross for Son, though his header is too weak and Pickford gathers with ease.

Positive signs from Spurs, however.

Dan Kilpatrick at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

18:43 , Jonathan Gorrie

Richarlison’s injury is a potential blow to Spurs given the schedule and Kulusevski’s absence. Conte picks Bissouma over Lucas as his replacement, although controlling the midfield has not been a problem for Spurs so far.

CHANCE FOR TOTTENHAM!

18:42 , Jonathan Gorrie

52:00 - WHAT A STRIKE FROM HARRY KANE!

Davies crosses over to Kane, who hits a stunning volley but Pickford is equal to it.

Early injury worry

18:40 , Jonathan Gorrie

50:00 - Richarlison holding his calf and needs treatment. Looks like Bissouma is getting ready to come on.

No changes at the break

18:35 , Jonathan Gorrie

45:00 - Spurs trying to start brightly again, looking to get Son in-behind but he’s dealt with by Coleman.

Dan Kilpatrick’s half-time verdict

18:20 , Jonathan Gorrie

Spurs have done OK but are missing Dejan Kulusevski as they struggle to break down a resolute Everton side, who have threatened on the counter.

HT: Tottenham 0-0 Everton

18:20 , Jonathan Gorrie

Only one shot on target from Spurs, who were lucky Everton’s finishing let them down twice.

CHANCE FOR TOTTENHAM

18:18 , Jonathan Gorrie

46:00 - Delicous ball from Kane but Richarlison volleys over.

Dan Kilpatrick from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

18:15 , Jonathan Gorrie

Spurs would be behind if it weren’t for hopeless finishes from Gray & Onana. They’re again missing Kulusevski’s final ball.

CHANCE FOR EVERTON

18:14 , Jonathan Gorrie

42:00 - Onana breaks after a midfield muddle but fires over.

Spurs not happy with the ref

18:13 , Jonathan Gorrie

41:00 - Bentancur booked for a soft looking challenge before another light decision goes against Spurs.

Spurs a joy to watch when they move the ball quickly

18:05 , Jonathan Gorrie

33:00 - Clearly, they don’t do it often enough but some of the quick passing from Bentancur and Kane really lifts the stadium.

Easier said than done of course but more of that is needed.

Quick feet from Harry Kane

18:03 , Jonathan Gorrie

31:0 - The England captain nutmegs two players but sees his shot saved from Pickford, again from a tight angle.

Everton tails are up

18:01 , Jonathan Gorrie

29:00 - Son called into action to block Coleman’s shot from the edge of the box after a cleared corner.

Tarkoswki heads over from the resulting corner.

Dan Kilpatrick at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

17:56 , Jonathan Gorrie

Lampard’s side played naively in a 5-0 defeat here in March, with a ludicrously high line, but they have clearly wised up since & are making it tough for Spurs to break them down. Conte’s side are missing a touch of finesse, although the same could be said of Gray’s wayward finish just now.

CHANCE FOR EVERTON!

17:55 , Jonathan Gorrie

22:00 - Raking ball from Coady sets Gray up for a run at Bentancur and the Everton man uses his body to get in-behind.

Through on goal, however, Gray fires over the bar, admittedly from a tight angle.

Everton have sorted themselves out

17:52 , Jonathan Gorrie

20:00 - After a slow opening few minutes, the away side are starting to grow into the game.

Spurs getting on the ball in deep positions but it’s all in front of a packed defence.

Everton’s best spell

17:47 , Jonathan Gorrie

15:00 - Doing little to trouble Tottenham but the away side are getting on the ball.

Romero does well to stop Onana from cutting back from the byline.

Pickford rusty

17:44 , Jonathan Gorrie

13:00 - Some pretty poor passing from Pickford today, with loose or overhit balls piling the pressure on Everton.

Dan Kilpatrick from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

17:42 , Jonathan Gorrie

This is up there with Spurs’ best starts to a game this season. They are looking very sharp, with Perisic, Bentancur and Son all heavily involved so far.

Wasted free-kick

17:41 , Jonathan Gorrie

09:00 - Spurs fans would have been delighted to see Son over a free-kick from just outside the box and not Harry Kane.

Still, he hits only the wall from a good position.

Really good from Tottenham

17:40 , Jonathan Gorrie

07:00 - Son’s plea for a penalty waved away after a tackle from Gueye but the South Korean and Ivan Perisic are having a lot of joy down the left.

CHANCE FOR TOTTENHAM!

17:38 , Jonathan Gorrie

06:00 - Richarlison heads over from Perisic’s tempting cross over to the far post. Should have done better.

Good start from Spurs

17:37 , Jonathan Gorrie

05:00 - Tarkowski blocks Kane’s shot, with Spurs dominating the ball early on. While that’s hardly a surprise, Everton have been a bit last-ditch already, which bodes well for the home side.

Incisive play

17:35 , Jonathan Gorrie

03:00 - Romero’s ball into the right-hand channel finds Doherty, who is swarmed by a sea blue before he can get a ball pulled back.

Richarlison getting the rough treatment

17:33 , Jonathan Gorrie

01:00 - Mykolenko in early on former teammate Richarlison, who needed a few seconds before getting up. Not exactly friends reunited.

Juventus vice president Pavel Nedved has confirmed that Max Allegri will remain coach amid links with Antonio Conte.

“We know there’s a long road ahead, and it will take a while to get out of this situation”.

Bentancur sings Antonio Conte’s praises

16:47 , Jonathan Gorrie

“You see it on the bench,” said the Tottenham star of his manager to Sky Sports.

“He is in the game all the time. He doesn’t relax for a second and he doesn’t allow us to relax either. I believe that is one of the most important things about him.

“After that, he has given an identity to the team that we didn’t have before, in terms of the way we play, and I think we are showing the benefits of that this season. He wants to win, like all of us.

“It’s a pleasure to have him as my manager.”

Three changes for Conte

16:38 , Jonathan Gorrie

Three changes from Frankfurt, with Davies, Doherty & Perisic in for Lenglet, Emerson (suspended) and Sessegnon. Richarlison starts against his former club, as Conte sticks to 3-4-3.

Tottenham and Google in talks over stadium naming-rights deal

16:15 , Jonathan Gorrie

Tottenham are in talks with Google over a naming-rights deal for the club’s £1.2billion stadium.

Daniel Levy, the Spurs chairman, has long been working to secure a lucrative partner for the 62,850-capacity ground, which has been known as the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium since it opened in 2019.

Levy is aiming for a world-record figure worth around £25m-a-year but is yet to find a suitable partner after talks with a number of global brands including Uber, FedEx and Amazon.

An agreement with Google, one of the largest companies in the world, would be a coup for Levy and Spurs’ first ever chief commercial officer Todd Kline, although a deal is not thought to be close.

Antonio Conte’s fresh links with Juventus

This one will just not go away, will it?

Antonio Conte has again been linked with a return to Juventus.

Reports in Italy suggest the Tottenham manager is waiting for a call from his former club amid growing pressure on Max Allegri.

Antonio Conte delivers verdict on Everton

15:56 , Jonathan Gorrie

“We are talking about a really good team with a really good manager,” said Conte of today’s opposition.

“Frank is a young manager but he’s doing very well, he had a great experience with Chelsea and he’s doing a really good job,” said Antonio. “They started the season so-so, but now I think they reached a good stability. They have a good balance and they’re showing great solidity, especially defensively.”

Conte set to gamble on stars’ fitness as reserves struggle to make case for rotations

15:35 , Jonathan Gorrie

Tottenham’s slump in the final half-hour of Wednesday’s 3-2 win over Eintracht Frankfurt will have done little to convince Antonio Conte of his squad’s strength in depth, as the pre-World Cup grind continues with a visit from Everton on Saturday.

Spurs stopped playing after Frankfurt were reduced to 10 men on the hour, and they got worse as the game ticked towards a conclusion and Conte used all five of his substitutes.

There were mitigating factors, including a desire to conserve energy amidst the most hectic of schedules, but the introductions of Yves Bissouma, Oliver Skipp, Davinson Sanchez, Lucas Moura and Bryan Gil disrupted Spurs’s shape and rhythm.

Lloris urges Tottenham to control games like a ‘top team’ after Frankfurt scare

15:28 , Jonathan Gorrie

Hugo Lloris says Tottenham must learn to control games if they want to be a “top team”, but insists results are more important than performances in the first half of the season before the World Cup.

Spurs took a big step towards qualification for the Champions League knockout stage with a 3-2 home win over Eintracht Frankfurt last night, but what should have been a routine second half finished edgily, after the 10-man visitors scored in the 87th minute and Harry Kane missed a penalty.

Conte hints at Djed Spence lifeline after underwhelming Tottenham start

15:16 , Jonathan Gorrie

Antonio Conte has offered a lifeline to Djed Spence at Tottenham.

The summer signing has been handed only one minute of competitive action this season after a protracted move from Middlesbrough and Conte has previously been dismissive about the prospect of replacing Emerson Royal with either Spence or Matt Doherty.

Lucas Moura – another option there – has struggled with injury and Emerson has been frequently criticised despite his seemingly guaranteed starting role up until this point.

The Brazilian, however, is suspended for Saturday’s Premier League meeting with Everton and his absence will force Conte’s hand.

Lampard hits back at Spurs star Richarlison ahead of Everton clash

15:08 , Jonathan Gorrie

Frank Lampard has dismissed Richarlison’s claims that Everton lack ambition as the Tottenham star prepares to face his old club on Saturday.

Richarlison joined Spurs in a £60million deal last summer and in a recent interview revealed a reason for Everton exit was a perceived lack of ambition at Goodison Park.

“I was happy at Everton and I’m grateful for everything I learned there,” said the Brazilian. “It’s a big club with a lot of history. However, perhaps they’re suffering with a lack of ambition nowadays. You know, that eagerness to win matches and trophies.”

But Lampard has hit back at Richarlison ahead of their reunion this weekend.
