Gueye Gets 8, Harrison With 7 | Everton Players Rated In Hard-Fought Draw Vs Tottenham Hotspur | OneFootball

Everton welcomed Tottenham Hotspur at Goodison Park earlier today as they looked to secure all three points at home in the Premier League. The Toffees made a poor start to the game as they conceded the opening goal in the fourth-minute when Richarlison found the back of the net. However, Jack Harrison managed to equalise for the Merseyside club at the half-hour mark before Richarlison scored again for Spurs in the 41st minute. Sean Dyche’s men were trailing 2-1 at the half-time break.
