Everton 0-0 Tottenham: Conte held to goalless draw in first Spurs league game

In
a
competitive
clash,
albeit
one
lacking
in
clear
opportunities,
Everton
had
a
penalty
overturned
in
the
second
half
before
Giovani
Lo
Celso
hit
the
woodwork
late
on
for
Spurs.

Richarlison
was
awarded
a
spot-kick
after
Hugo
Lloris
lunged
in,
but
referee
Chris
Kavanagh
changed
his
decision
after
checking
the
pitchside
monitor,
and
Everton
fell
foul
of
VAR
again
when
Mason
Holgate
received
his
marching
orders
in
stoppage
time.

Spurs
did
not
have
enough
time
to
make
their
numerical
advantage
count,
however,
as
Conte
–
who
enjoyed
a
good
record
against
Everton
in
his
time
at
Chelsea,
winning
three
and
drawing
one
of
their
four
meetings
–
had
to
settle
for
a
point.

The
only
shot
on
target
in
a
cagey
first
half
long-range
effort
from
Ben
Godfrey,
which
was
saved
comfortably
by
Hugo
Lloris.

It
was
the
fourth
half
of
Premier
League
football
in
a
row
where
Spurs
had
failed
to
have
a
shot
on
target,
despite
both
wing-backs
Sergio
Reguilon
and
Emerson
Royal
having
good
chances,
both
directing
their
efforts
wide.

The
game
finally
came
to
life
in
the
63rd
minute
when
Lloris
appeared
to
bring
down
Richarlison
in
the
box.
However,
after
a
VAR
check
showing
that
the
Spurs
keeper
got
a
slight
touch
on
the
ball,
referee
Kavanagh
reversed
his
decision,
much
to
Everton’s
chagrin.

Everton’s
frustration
was
almost
compounded
in
the
88th
minute
–
the
left-hand
post
coming
to
their
rescue
from
Lo
Celso’s
excellent
effort.

Substitute
Holgate
then
saw
a
yellow
card
upgraded
to
a
red
for
catching
Pierre-Emile
Hojbjerg
after
making
a
clearance,
though
Everton
held
on
to
stop
their
run
of
defeats.
