TOTTENHAM VS EVERTON Good afternoon and welcome to our live-text coverage of Tottenham vs Everton at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Both sides have high hopes this season. Jose Mourinho wants his side to learn how to ‘win ugly’, while he’ll be desperate to restore Spurs to Champions League status and perhaps even win them a trophy. Everton, on the other hand, begin their first season under stewardship of three-time Champions League winner Carlo Ancelotti, who joined the club last December. They’ve signed Colombian supremo James Rodriguez and Brazilian Allan, both drawn to the club thanks to the Italian’s stellar reputation. Are Everton taking things to the next level? A big week with plenty to prove for both sides, so stay with us for all the build-up, team news, hype and highlights ahead of kick-off at 16:30.

This is a very different Everton side to the one you know.
Three points away from home against big six side. What a massive result that is.
And stellar performances from each of their debutants.
Spurs looked uninterested and incapable. Mourinho has a huge job on his hands. Will he dive into the transfer window?
90+4'
Sissoko whips in a cross but Pickford, who made two crucial saves in the first half, collects.
90+1'
Rodriguez makes way for Davies to what would be rapturous applause if there were fans in the ground.

If you're an Everton fan, you have to be excited.
This midfield of Doucoure, Allan and James is capable of big things.

Spurs dominating possession now but Everton are holding firm. I cannot remember the last time Kane touched the ball. Moura is the only player in white who looks interested in winning this game.
83'
Richarlison goes down in a clash with Hojbjerg. Very much a 50/50 where both playres look pretty bashed up.
80'
Spurs have had a little more to them in the past few minutes but just a corner to speak of in all honesty. It';s still nowhere near enough.
76'
Doherty makes way for Ndombele, who is hardly one of Mourinho's favourites but he's still a Tottenham player.

Everton are playing like the team that need a goal. They haven't dared switch off since they scored and that's surely Ancelotti's doing.
Spurs look lifeless and bereft of ideas.
73'
CHANCE!
Another chance for Richarlison! Can they kill this game off!
No! The Brazilian once again cuts inside but once again it's a yard wide.
DIGNE THE PROVIDER
70'
CHANCE!
Rodriguez picks out Richarlison down the left. The Brazilian cuts inside but bends it just a foot wide. Close!
69'
Moura can't generate the power to trouble Pickford but it's Spurs' first attempt on goal in the half.
Sigurdsson is on for Gomes.

Where's the reaction?
Everton are knocking it about the pitch and have had 74 per cent possession in the last five minutes.
But Tottenham are not even pressing! Do something!
63'
Everton looking very comfortable and coherent.
Spurs looking very frustrated and neither Kane or Son has had a moment on the ball in this half.
60'
No messing about, Winks is off and Bergwijn is on.
58'
Mourinho is furious because Digne took that free-kick about five yards forward from where the foul took place.
57'
Well, well.
Is Ancelotti ushering a new dawn at Everton? Top players at all ends of the pitch, world-class manager, beating Spurs away...
What do Mourinho's men have in the bank?
