Michael Keane fires home a late goal to secure a 1-1 draw for Everton against Tottenham Hotspur, moving the Toffees out of the relegation zone.

Everton drew 1-1 against Tottenham Hotspur at Goodison Park, with Michael Keane firing home a wonder strike in additional time to cancel out Harry Kane's second-half penalty.

The result sees the Toffees move out of the relegation zone, now up to 15th place, while the visitors' top-four push was dealt a blow, despite the fact they remain in fourth place, as Manchester United are level on points with two games in hand.

Everton have made Goodison Park a far more difficult place to come under the helm of Sean Dyche, and they started the game in very positive fashion, with Demarai Gray and Keane having chances from the edge of the area, but both efforts whistled over the bar.

However, one mistake you cannot afford to make too often against Tottenham is allowing Kane too much space in the penalty area, and the striker really should have done better with a header, after being picked out by a pinpoint Ivan Perisic cross from the left.

After their early let off, the Toffees limited Spurs to very few chances in the first half, but Dejan Kulusevski sprung to life when he played Son-Heung min through on goal just before half time, but Jordan Pickford made a smart stop with his leg to keep the score level.

Much like the opening 45 minutes, the hosts put the pressure on from the off in the second half, with Idrissa Gueye finding himself in space just outside the area, but the midfielder made the wrong decision to shoot, rather than picking out Abdoulaye Doucoure, who was in acres of space on the right.

Despite being on top in the early stages of the second half, Everton's task was made far tougher when Doucoure was sent off just before the hour mark for striking Kane in the face in an off-the-ball altercation, leaving referee David Coote with no choice but to brandish a red card.

Dyche protested the decision, which was checked by VAR, but it was upheld, much to the frustration of the home supporters, and the complexion of the game immediately started to change, with Tottenham dominating possession and pushing more bodies forward.

Having not created much of anything since Kane's early header, Cristian Stellini's side made their advantage pay when Cristian Romero was brought down in the box by Keane, after beating the 30-year-old to a loose ball.

Kane kept his cool from the spot, despite the home fans doing their very best to put him off, sending England teammate Pickford the wrong way to give Spurs the lead, moving them back up to third in the Premier League.

Despite taking the lead, in truth Spurs never looked comfortable, nearly getting caught out on more than one occasion by trying to play through the Everton press, with the hosts throwing players forward to try and force their way back into the game.

After Lucas Moura saw red for a high challenge on Keane, Tottenham paid the ultimate price when the centre-back fired home a wonder striker from outside the box in additional time, securing an important point for the hosts, which moves them up to 15th in the table.
