Michael Keane scored a stunning long-range strike in the 90th minute to salvage a Premier League draw for Everton against Tottenham in a game that saw both sides finish with 10 men. The point took Sean Dyche’s men out of the relegation zone and was a critical moment in the congested bottom half of the table.
The game had been an uninspiring encounter up until the flashpoint on 57 minutes, when Toffees midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure was given a deserved straight red card after pushing Kane in the face off the ball. Harry Kane then opened the scoring 10 minutes later from penalty spot, sending international team-mate Jordan Pickford the wrong way to register his 15th league goal against Everton.
Idrissa Gueye missed a glaring opportunity in the second half when he fired over from the edge of the area and he also had a strike superbly tipped over the crossbar by the returning Hugo Lloris. Ultimately it took Keane’s stunning goal to rescue something from the game, the draw pulling Everton level with West Ham, Bournemouth and Forest on 27 points in the congested bottom half of the table.
The result takes Tottenham into the Champions League places with nine games to play, but Stellini’s side have now failed to win their last six games away from home. For Dyche, this was an important game after seeing fellow strugglers West Ham and Bournemouth win at the weekend and Nottingham Forest claim a point and he is now regularly relying on his former Burnley players for points, with Keane’s strike coming after winning goals from fellow ex-Clarets James Tarkowski and Dwight McNeil in recent home victories.
