MAN OF THE MATCH?

Match summary

Dominic Calvert-Lewin's superb second-half header proved the difference as Everton claimed a 1-0 victory at Tottenham Hotspur.

Richarlison missed Everton's best chance of the first half when he fired wide from a tight angle while Jordan Pickford saved from Spurs midfielder Dele Alli and debutant Matt Doherty at the other end.

The decisive moment came in the 55th minute, with Calvert-Lewin powerfully meeting Lucas Digne's free-kick.

Richarlison twice shot wide and Hugo Lloris denied Calvert-Lewin a second as the Toffees looked to double their advantage.

But a single goal was enough to secure Everton's first league win over Spurs since December 2012 and hand Spurs head coach Jose Mourinho his first opening-day defeat at the 19th time of asking.
