Everton: Andy Gray and Richard Keys in agreement with Tottenham verdict

Andy Gray and Richard Keys in complete agreement with Tottenham v Everton verdict

Andy Gray and Richard Keys both felt Everton were worthy of at least a point in their Premier League meeting with Tottenham.

The Toffees found themselves two behind inside 18 minutes to goals from Richarlison and Son Heung-min, before Andre Gomes pulled one back late on.

Arnaut Danjuma then struck the crossbar as Everton went within two inches of an equaliser, only to ultimately fall to a 2-1 defeat in North London.

Gray interjected: “You know what, I don’t think Everton deserved a point. I think they deserved three. Everton were by far the better side.”

Keys then concluded: “Hard to argue. They were worth at least a point.”

Everton left themselves with a huge mountain to climb at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, but they so nearly returned to Merseyside with a point.

The Toffees’ goal, through an unlikely source, was more than deserved when it arrived and a second should have followed.

Sean Dyche will be disappointed that his side’s four-match winning run in the league is over, but you cannot fault Everton’s efforts against Spurs.

Indeed, if not for Gigi Vicario in the Tottenham goal – and, let’s face it, a huge slice of fortune in added time – Everton would have drawn 2-2.

Even in defeat there are positives, and there is no reason why they cannot now give Manchester City a run for their money on 27 December.

The outcome could easily have been different on another day, but the heads of the Toffees players should be held high.
