It finished 0-0 at White Hart Lane with neither Tottenham or Everton able to make a breakthrough. The hosts were the better side but were made to rue missed chances, particularly in a dominant second half.
Harry Kane misses a good chance in the first half. He was put through by Ryan Mason but his low shot was stopped by the impressive Tim Howard.
Eric Dier was superb in central midfield and Dele Alli impressed off the bench, replacing the injured Mousa Dembele.
The referee came under a lot of criticism for a series of questionable decisions. I didn’t think he did too badly but he was keen to blow his whistle for just about every challenge, breaking up the play during an exciting period of the match, which was frustrating.
Social media was full of differing opinions after the game – some positive, some negative. Here’s the best of the post match tweets.
Well we always wondered what'd happen when Kane's goals dried up and my word it's not good is it?

Gah! That could have been 3, 4, even 5. Lack of composure in front of goal from #THFC. A real pity because we played well for long periods.

#thfc FT 0-0. Spurs certainly had the chances to win that. A welcome clean sheet but they go into the international break winless.

No idea how we didn't win. Over 20 chances, really need to be more clinical, it's costing us far too much. Decent showing up to final third.

we drew, but at least we deserved to win for once because we were genuinely better

Just can't put it to bed. Not great with decision making. Sigh. #COYS

Just 3 points & 3 goals for Spurs from 4 games. Early days etc but already undercooked squad left short.

Spurs actually playing really decent, solid football. Created (more than) enough to win and limited Everton to very few chances.

Three games unbeaten. Having one striker in the squad for the first four games clearly works. Levynomics #coys

Boos were for ref, not the team. Best atmosphere I have seen in a while. Unlucky spurs

No issues at all with that #THFC performance. It's clearly coming together, just a tad slower than you might desire. Solid foundations #COYS

On the plus side, A clean sheet and unbeaten in 3 🙂 #COYS

I never pay attention until 6 games in. Do you honestly think Chelsea won't be 1st/2nd?

Pros: We defended very well, Lukaku didn't get a sniff
Cons: Too slow in attack, but we knew that.Will improve with signings.Not a disaster!
— Tom Edwards (@tomedwards) August 29, 2015
No doubt with a regular run of games Deli Ali will easily be a regular in a #THFC starting XI, kid just needs games, potentially has it all.

Pochettino out
Prick!
Penis
Err you battyman. Billy Mac takes it up the Gary glitter.
Our finishing is awful; Kane as a 1season wonder springs to mind.Alli must start.Still hoping for more striking power but what is the point if MP won’t play the new signings.Afraid he is doing exactly like AVB and will end up the same way…..
N’jie not yet match fit and Son awaiting work permit.
Batty man??? What fucking rock did you crawl out of?
Don’t worry about it Billy, another plastic supporter giving his pearls of wisdom! Lol.
Come back to bed son and finish rimming me.
True mate,
the only park lane that Christmas Turkey has been to is the one with all the car showrooms on it …….prob stood rapping with his mates & bleeting about hard done by he is…….
Batty man?.. Charles you are lucky we are not in a different time buddy , I’d have hunted you down on horse back & removed your midget head.
Yeah come to then battyman, come find me boy, Adams Street Broadwater Farm, ask for Prince Charles. Your messing with African power.
What do you guys think about signing Axel Witsel? Although he’s another Belgian his profile, stats look pretty good for our midfield. Strong, pacey and attack minded. Being he currently plays for Zent St. Petersburg he could be a bit pricey. Says he likes playing along side Hulk but I think we should save him from the association with old what’s his name. Can’t bring myself to write or say his name. It reminds me of Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlej…… Lol
