Star player

Dele Alli. The England midfielder provided yet more evidence that he is a major rising star. Alli put in a lively display featuring some excellent touches and capped by a wonderful goal to bring the scores level.

Moment of the match

Aaron Lennon's goal. Alli's was just as good in terms of the build-up and finish, but the opener was particularly sweet for winger Lennon given it saw him mark a rare start by netting against his former employers.

View from the bench

Roberto Martinez can certainly take positives from his Everton side's first-half goal and second-half performance, but once again this was a home match in which the Toffees ultimately failed to really fire, and one win in seven Premier League matches is hardly an encouraging statistic.

Opposite number Mauricio Pochettino will be largely pleased with his team's efforts, but will surely rue the fact that their complete dominance in the first half only yielded one goal and they could not keep their winning run going.

Moan of the match

Martinez has taken a defensive stance in relation to questioning of Tim Howard's performances of late, but this was another display from the Everton goalkeeper that, while certainly not disastrous, featured some shaky moments. Some Toffees fans voiced their frustrations towards Howard from the stands and his position in the team remains looking insecure.
