Tottenham Hotspur locked horns with Everton at Goodison park earlier this evening, hoping to pick up all three points in their first Premier League game under Antonio Conte. The match turned out to be pretty tight in terms of chances as both the defenses were on the top of their game; however, Everton might consider themselves to be unlucky due to a couple of VAR decisions. Giovanni Lo Celso’s thunderous 20-yard-shot came off the crossbar in the 88th minute as the match ended in a 0-0 draw.
Let’s take a look at how each Tottenham player fared during the clash against the Toffees.
Tottenham Hotspur Players Rated In Draw Vs Everton
Hugo Lloris 6
The France shot-stopper didn’t have too many saves to make tonight but he got extremely lucky with the penalty decision after Richarlison went down inside the box.
Ben Davies 6.5
Davies put up a solid defensive performance at the back but he looked a bit off with his passing.
Eric Dier 6.5
The English centre-back kept the entire backline in shape over the course of the ninety minutes and hardly made a mistake.
Christian Romero 7
The Argentine international was arguably Spurs’ best defender tonight. Besides making some crucial interceptions, tackles, and challenges at the heart of the defence, he read Everton’s attacking moves exceptionally well.

Sergio Reguilon 6
The Spaniard could have put the visitors 1-0 up right before the half time mark, but he ended up missing the opportunity.
Emerson Royal 7
He fared well defensively but his link up play with Lucas Moura down the right flank seemed very weak.
Oliver Skipp 6.5
Skipp did just enough to dominate the proceedings at the centre of the park, but he lacked the creative intent in the opposition half.
Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg 6.5
Ditto as Skipp, Hojbjerg was spot on with his tackles in midfield and did relatively well to intercept Everton’s counter-attacking moves.
Son Heung-min 6
The Korean international cut a frustrated figure down the left wing as he was deprived of services throughout the ninety minutes.
Lucas Moura 6
Moura’s link up with those near him – Kane, Son and Royal – was pathetic to watch.
Harry Kane 7
The Englishman created some brilliant goal-scoring chances for his teammates, but it never really looked like he had a goal in him.
