Everton vs Tottenham Live score and commentary

topic-thumbnail

21:25 (IST)13 AUG 2016

A well-balanced game at the end of it. Ronald Koeman will be happy with a point but Pochettino would be disappointed. But on the balance of play a point is a fair result. 

Everton started the better as Ross Barkley's free-kick caught the Spurs defence off guard and it sneaked into the back of the net. Spurs were second best in the first half and Everton could have made it 2-0 but Deulefeu missed a one-on-one chance in the dying seconds of the first half.

Spurs started to grow into the game in the second half and finally found a way tough as Walker who had been their best player in the game put in a cross that Lamela headed into the far corner to level it up.

Spurs continued to pile on the pressure from then on as Everton held on for the point. Alli missed a notable chance but other than tthat, no clear way through for LilyWhites as they start off with a draw

19:49 (IST)13 AUG 2016
