Here\u2019s our Everton vs Tottenham player ratings as the Toffees edged past Spurs in a five goal thriller at Goodsion Park on Sunday.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tottenham Fight Back Late But Lose Five Goal Thriller<\/h2>\n

Everton had their biggest lead this season at half time on Sunday, with three early goals putting them in a commanding position heading down the tunnel.<\/p>\n

Dominic Calvert-Lewin scored the first for Everton, with the Englishman clearly relieved after ending a goal drought that extended back to September of last year.<\/p>\n

Iliman Ndiaye scored a second for the Toffees shortly after with a beautiful, weaving run and Everton were out of sight by half time as Archie Gray deflected a clearance into his own net.<\/p>\n

Tottenham were able to fight back late and make the scoreline look slightly less damning, but late finishes from Dejan Kulusevski and former blue Richarlison weren’t enough, as Spurs dropped to 15th in the Premier League table.<\/p>\n

Everton Player Ratings<\/b><\/h2>\n

Jordan Pickford \u2013 7<\/b><\/p>\n

Wasn’t given much to do in goal throughout the game but was at fault for the first Tottenham goal as he rushed out and left an open net for Kulusevski to score.<\/p>\n

Jake O’Brien \u2013 7.5<\/b><\/p>\n

A good performance from the youngster on his first Premier League start, giving away no chances to a tricky attack on his full debut.<\/p>\n

James Tarkowski \u2013 8<\/b><\/p>\n

Almost got on the end of a set piece to increase Everton’s lead only to be denied by the goalkeeper, defensively sound at the back leading the back line well.<\/p>\n

Jarrad Branthwaite \u2013 7<\/b><\/p>\n

Did well to move the ball up the field when in possession, stepped up in the times and places he was needed. Another solid 90 minutes from the centre half.<\/p>\n

Vitalii Mykolenko \u2013 6.5<\/b><\/p>\n

Only criticism was that he could’ve got more involved going forward but other than that it was another solid display from the Ukrainian.<\/p>\n

Orel Mangala – 7<\/strong><\/p>\n

Was only denied a goal by the post, looked good in possession and kept the Spurs midfield quiet until right at the end of the game.<\/p>\n

Idrissa Gueye \u2013 9<\/b><\/p>\n

Picked up two assists and dominated in midfield, Sarr and Bergval looked lost coming up against the Senegalese star who was man of the match.<\/p>\n

Abdoulaye Doucour\u00e9 \u2013 8<\/b><\/p>\n

One of the sharpest players on the pitch in the first half, his energy early in the game was key in helping Everton get ahead in the first half.<\/p>\n

Iliman Ndiaye – 9\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lively throughout the contest and he always posed a threat to the Spurs defence, his beautiful solo goal was comfortably the best moment of the game for either team.<\/p>\n
