Michael Keane inadvertently put into his own net to give Tottenham an uninspiring 1-0 victory over Everton.
Match Reports
Tottenham bounced back from their defeat to Sheffield United in underwhelming fashion as a Michael Keane own goal earned a 1-0 Premier League win over Everton.
Spurs' Champions League hopes were left hanging by a thread after they slipped to a limp 3-1 defeat at Bramall Lane last time out.
Jose Mourinho's men were not much better in the more familiar confines of Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Monday, but Keane's moment of misfortune proved enough to see off a dismal Everton side and secure the Portuguese's 200th Premier League victory.

24' Own Goal! Tottenham 1-0 Everton (M. Keane)
An own goal gives Tottenham the lead! After some neat play down the left flank, Kane ends up in possession and sees his close-range effort blocked by Holgate. The loose ball then drops to Lo Celso in the centre of the box, and the Argentine’s left-footed shot deflects off Keane and beyond Pickford. 1-0.
28' Yellow Card! Holgate booked
The home side launch a quick break that results in Son playing in Lo Celso down the left-hand side of the field. The Argentine knocks his first touch beyond Holgate, who then takes out the midfielder with a late challenge. Free-kick to Spurs in a dangerous position on the edge of the box.
45'+5' Richarlison's shot just wide!
Richarlison receives the ball on the edge of the Tottenham area from Mina and, after a good first touch, sets himself before dragging his shot inches wide of Lloris' far post.
48' Yellow Card! Sissoko becomes the second player to be booked
Sissoko becomes the second player to receive a yellow card after cynically bringing down Richarlison on the halfway line when the Brazilian looked to break.
65' Pickford makes great save
Lucas works the ball into the path of Son, who, from the left side of the box, is once again denied by Pickford who was quickly down to his left to keep out the Spurs attacker’s strike.
85' Yellow card! Alderweireld booked for wasting time
