Everton 0-0 Tottenham: Player Ratings

Everton

Howard (58): Kept a clean sheet and made several saves to help earn him the Squawka man of the match award.

Coleman (12): Involved in both of the game’s big talking points, Coleman could have given away a penalty for a first half challenge on Jan Vertonghen before tangling with the same player in the opposition box.

Baines (15): Typically attacking, Baines attempted 11 crosses over the course of the game

Barry (25): Made four clearances from his defensive midfield role, three of which came in a first half that Tottenham dominated.

Jagielka (49): Made 88% of his passes, including one key pass that created a chance.

Distin (47): Made seven clearances, three interceptions and two tackles as he put his body on the line to help his side keep their clean sheet.

Mirallas (-23): Substituted in the 62nd minute, the Belgian only managed to make three successful passes out of nine attempted.

McCarthy (-2): Won three headed duals and won two tackles in an industrious midfield performance

Lukaku (-21): Won 7 of 10 headed duels, but failed to register a single attempt on goal. Almost took Hugo Lloris’s head off in his most memorable contribution to the game.

Osman (-2): Didn’t do a huge amount before being withdrawn in the 62nd minute.

Pienaar (-29): The South African was sloppy in possession, posting a pass accuracy of 66%.

Substitutes

Jelavic (-6): Only on for five minutes.

Deulofeu (14) : Added some direct running during his substitute cameo with six attempted take ons, although he only completed two of them.

Barkley (-1): Had little impact in his half an hour on the pitch.

Tottenham Hotspur

Lloris (43): Kept Spurs in it with some good saves at the death, having done well to continue following a collision with a marauding Lukaku.

Walker (37): Got forward well, and attempted four crosses.

Vertonghen (31): Led a one man crusade against the Everton backline in the first half, successfully taking on his man three times from four attempts.

Paulinho(3): Made four tackles and four clearances from his defensive midfield berth.

Dawson (39): Successfully made 12 clearances: more than any other player on the pitch.

Chiriches (26): Impressed at centre back, particularly with an excellent last ditch covering tackle on Lukaku in the second half.

Townsend (49): Outshining Aaron Lennon on the other wing, Townsend completed four successful take ons and at one point had made more than the entire Everton team combined.

Sandro (16): Came off with an injury problem to be replaced by Dembele, but was solid prior to his exit.

Soldado (-19): Dealt with robustly by Distin and Jagielka, Soldado cut a frustrated figure and looked a shadow of the man Spurs broke their transfer record to sign.

Holtby (36): Clearly relishing the opportunity to play at the club he supported in his youth Holtby attempted to get involved in everything, as shown by his heat map below.

Lennon (-3): Was quiet from the left and only attempting one take on, which proved unsuccessful.

Substitutes

Dembélé (5): Quiet in his 30 minutes on the pitch.

Sigurdsson (10): Produced a lively cameo and had two shots on goal as he injected more of a goal threat into the Spurs attack.

Eriksen (0) : Not on for long enough to make an impact
