Jarrad Branthwaite scored a 94th minute equaliser as relegation-threatened Everton rescued a point against Tottenham with a 2-2 draw on Saturday as Sean Dyche's team moved out of the bottom three in the Premier League table.
Richarlison, once the darling of Goodison Park, scored a brace of goals in the first half and looked to have won the game for the visitors, but Branthwaite headed in at the back post after Everton had troubled Spurs all game with their set-pieces.
Jack Harrison also scored for Everton and after Spurs failed to kill the game in the second half, the battling Merseyside club always had hope they could take something from the match.
Spurs are fourth in the table on 44 points from 23 games, missing the chance to move level with second-placed Manchester City, though they have played a two games more. Everton have 19 points from their 23 games.
Tottenham led early through Richarlison. Spurs moved the ball well down the left-hand side and Destiny Udogie's pass was lashed home by the unmarked the Brazil international.
Harrison rather unwittingly equalised on the half-hour mark as a corner was met at back post by James Tarkowski and his header into the six-yard box was directed goalwards by Dominic Calvert-Lewin and it went in off Harrison.
Spurs goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario felt he was fouled by Harrison as the corner came over, but a VAR check allowed the goal.
The visitors were back in front four minutes before halftime as they broke quickly and from James Maddison's flick, Richarlison placed an excellent shot beyond former team mate Jordan Pickford to score his ninth Premier League goal in eight games.
Everton remained a threat from the set-pieces and got their reward as Christian Romero's attempted clearance from a free-kick was only steered into the path of Branthwaite, who beat a flailing Vicario.
