Postecoglou went all-out attack after the break and they got back to within one thanks to late goals from Dejan Kulusevski and Richarlison, but Tottenham still left empty-handed and sunk to their fifth defeat in six league games, with their only point on that run coming in a draw at home to relegation-threatened Wolves.

Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou still has faith his side can get back to their best this season, with Spurs now sat just eight points above the relegation zone after losing to Everton

Former Tottenham star Jamie O’Hara said he would be ‘surprised’ if Ange Postecoglou managed to survive the sack as the club collapsed to a 3-2 defeat at the hands of Everton. Postecoglou was already facing intense scrutiny after a wretched run of just two wins in seven games and the situation went from bad to worse at Goodison Park this afternoon.
