Everton out of relegation after 2-2 draw vs Spurs

Jarrad Branthwaite’s 94th minute equaliser salvaged a 2-2 draw for Everton against Tottenham that dragged the Toffees out of the relegation zone on Saturday.

Richarlison’s double on his return to Goodison Park looked set to take Spurs level on points with third-placed Arsenal. But Ange Postecoglou’s men were denied at the death as Branthwaite met a free-kick at the far post to boost Everton’s chances of survival.

Tottenham remain in fourth but could be leapfrogged by Aston Villa, when they travel to Sheffield United later on Saturday. Richarlison had scored just one Premier League goal for Tottenham between his £60 million ($76 million) move in July 2022 and December 2023.

But he has now struck nine times in Tottenham’s last eight Premier League games, with his hot form timely in the absence of Son Heung-min at the Asian Cup.

The 26-year-old was applauded by the Everton support after he refused to celebrate his goals and even raised a hand in apology to the home support.

Jack Harrison was backing into Vicario and then on hand to turn in Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s header towards goal.
