Aaron Lennon: Goal vs Spurs

Instead their cushion in the final Champions League berth has been trimmed to three points, while they now trail leaders – and arch rivals – Arsenal by six.

The Euros will provide the flawless showcase, although no-one should assume Everton will be tempted into a sale any more next summer than they were this summer, and he should be a certain England starter in France. But the team was good, they showed maturity and belief in the way we play.

The draw – a ninth of the season in the top flight for both sides – leaves Everton 11th in the table.

Everton continued to press for a victor in the closing stages and Lloris, rarely troubled for an hour, was ultimately the busier keeper as the game opened up into an entertaining, end-to-end affair.

The leveller that was the least Spurs deserved duly arrived in the final moments of the half, and was another finely-crafted effort involving an excellent long-distance pass.

The 19-year-old England global controlled on his chest a long pass forward from Toby Alderweireld and buried a first-time volley from just inside the area in first-half injury time.

Gerard Deulofeu, recently introduced by Martinez as a substitute, then produced a risky delivery that Lukaku just failed to convert with his head at the far post.

FC’s Craig Burley discusses Tottenham’s impressive 1-1 draw against Everton.

Tottenham midfielder Dele Alli has surpassed Everton’s Ross Barkley for a spot with England, according to Jamie Carragher.

The 60-yard diagonal ball he sprayed from right to left to pick out the perfectly timed run of Dele Alli for Spurs’s equaliser against Everton on Sunday was inch ideal, although it would be remiss not to acknowledge that the young midfielder still had plenty of work to do to control and execute a brilliant finish.

In an opening half of nearly total dominance that was punctured only by a goal of remarkable quality from Aaron Lennon, their former player, Tottenham displayed numerous qualities that have allowed them to emerge as dark horses to win the Premier League. “I thought throughout the game we had a very, very good performance”, said Martinez.

Last season, he was playing in the third tier with MK Dons.

The ESPN FC panel discuss if Tottenham are the real deal when it comes to being a top team in the English Premier League. We have not dwelled on it. If we can put together a run of games, who knows?

“We definitely feel we could have won”, he said. But today we are very disappointed because we feel we have dropped two points.

“They had a lot of the ball, but never really found their key players – [Erik] Lamela, Harry Kane, they didn’t have much play and I think that’s down to our defensive organisation”.

The first change was evident within the first few minutes of the second half and was perhaps Martinez’s first successful tactical change in some time.

“It has always been very welcoming at Spurs but this year we’re gelling as a team”.

Carragher has also been impressed by Alli’s ability to thrive in more than one position for Spurs this season.
