What can Everton do? Not a lot by the looks of things but they have the ball at the back with Tarkowsku and Armstrong gets the ball down the right, sending a shudder through the home fans. Everton work the ball to the left where Barry has it by the corner, tries to beat Spence, loses it and concedes the throw-in. Sums up his afternoon.
Palhinha, Gallagher and Bentancur look too strong and wily for Everton, who come again but waste a throw in by Mykolenko before Bentancur buys a free kick in the middle.
The introduction of Armstrong and George has turned this game, with Armstrong helping Everton to retain possession and George looking to beat his man. With West Ham having scored, the home support is getting anxious and it is seeping onto the pitch.
Barry does well to hold up the ball down the right and Everton are on the attack before Barry, now in the middle, bundles over Palhinha as he gets in front of him.
Double change for the hosts now.
Pape Matar Sarr and Randal Kolo Muani replace Mathys Tel and Richarlison.
Jordan Pickford 5
Has had to deal with a flurry of dangerous balls – often aerial deliveries – into his box, including a Djed Spence delivery aimed for Richarlison but having had no real saves of note to make beforehand, will be annoyed to have conceded yet another goal from a set-piece.
Jake O’Brien 4
Is toiling again at right-back, hopefully for the final time, and having been booked for pulling back Mathys Tel, he had another nibble at him and needs to be careful.
Vitalii Mykolenko 5
Looks more solid than O’Brien on the other side, but he’s still spent most of the first half being pegged back.
James Tarkowski 6
Everton’s most proactive defender when trying to deal with the Spurs onslaught, he was just about holding things together before Palhinha struck.
Michael Keane 5
Couldn’t get close enough to Palhinha for the goal but it looked like the Spurs scorer should have been Rohl’s man and the lack of pace from him and Tarkowski is still causing nervous moments.
Tim Iroegbunam 5
Being kept busy in the engine room as Spurs push forward, making a crucial block to deny Joao Palhinha, but needs to form more of a protective shield.
James Garner 5
Everton’s double Player of the Year but no England World Cup call-up and so far his set-piece deliveries haven’t been up to his usual standard.
Merlin Rohl 4
Left Palhinha unmarked – twice in a matter of seconds – for the goal, he is having a bit of a go again up the right wing and putting himself about, but Everton could do with more of that to help alleviate the pressure.
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall 5
After reviving the up-and-under kick-off, he surprisingly went short with a first-minute corner rather than testing Spurs’ nerves early on and with the hosts often deep in Everton territory, he’s found himself on the periphery of proceedings.
Iliman Ndiaye 5
Encouragingly turned up on the right wing to win a first minute corner but then moved back to the left and has been mostly chasing shadows other than a mazy dribble just after the half-hour mark.
Thierno Barry 5
Everton’s only change, David Moyes has given him a chance to impress in the final game but has hardly seen the ball and when he has, some of his touches have been loose and then he couldn’t keep Palhinha’s effort out.
Spurs' turn to lose the ball in the middle as Everton pick the pocket of Bentancur and Ndiaye is sent into space down the right. His cross is blocked and Spurs get the ball away before Richarlison is fouled as he hits O'Brien late when trying to charge down a clearance.
This game is neither pretty nor coherent and the best opportunities are being created by mistakes.
Spurs charge forward down the right and the cross finds Tel at the back post with time to control but his effort finds the head of Tarkowski and that is another attack repelled. Tel has been Spurs' most threatening player but has not had the chance to run at O'Brien recently. I'd change that if I was Spurs, especially with O'Brien on a booking.
Spurs do go back down Everton's right and Rohl is penalised for pushing/tripping Gallagher near the touchline. A poor foul to concede and the free kick is in a dangerous position, by the corner flag.
Pickford does well to punch away a good Porro cross.
Spurs have the ball and try to build an attack. They win a free kick as Tarkowski commits the latest foul from the away end. It is taken quickly and Spurs go from right to left, where Dewsbury-Hall mops up the danger and wins a free kick as he tries to surge away from Spence.
They come forwrad with the ball and get to the edge of the Spurs box, where Dewsbury-Hall, now on the right, cuts onto his left but has his shot blocked.
Everton keep up the pressure and Ndiaye evades a few tackles before his shot is diverted behind for a corner.
Dewsbury-Hall takes it and it just seems to miss everyone at the near post and bounce invitingly, but there is no-one attacking it and Spurs can clear.
