Everton v Tottenham LIVE: Premier League result and final score after late Jarrad Branthwaite goal
Richarlison’s double was not enough for Spurs, with the Toffees battling back to earn a valuable point at Goodison Park
Everton snatched a point against Tottenham after Jarrad Branthwaite’s stoppage-time equaliser in a dramatic 2-2 draw in the Premier League.
The Toffees fought back twice after Richarlison’s sublime brace to deny Spurs in their bid to pull level with north London rivals Arsenal in third.
Sean Dyche’s side showed immense character to fight back, first through Jack Harrison and then Branthwaite’s brave header at the far post in the 94th minute, colliding with Spurs goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario as the ball hit the back of the net.
The Toffees move outside the relegation zone temporarily, on goal difference, with Luton Town dropping into the bottom three.
