LIVE: Everton vs Tottenham

LIVE: Everton vs Tottenham

46' We're back underway at Goodison Park.

It has been an open game to say the least. Spurs could have been out of sight, but wasted their opportunities and Everton capitalised. However, Lamela's strike in stoppage time has left the game in the balance. The second half could be a thriller.

An incredible half of football ends with Everton holding a 3-2 lead over Tottenham at the break in their FA Cup clash. Davinson Sanchez put the visitors ahead in the third minute and they were seemingly in control. However, three goals in the space of seven minutes from Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Richarlison and Gylfi Sigurdsson sent Everton into a storming lead. There was time for one more strike before the interval as Erik Lamela brought Spurs back into the contest.

45' + 4' HALF-TIME: EVERTON 3-2 TOTTENHAM

45' There will be three minutes of added time.

45' Sanchez makes a terrible mistake at the back and allows Richarlison to make an interception. Lloris saves his team-mate by clearing ahead of the Brazilian before he can take possession.

42' PENALTY TO EVERTON! Calvert-Lewin is tripped in the box by Hojbjerg as he tries to latch on to Sigurdsson's pass and the referee points to the spot.

40' Calvert-Lewin has scored his 50th goal in all competitions for Everton (159th app), with 26 of his goals for the Toffees coming under Carlo Ancelotti.

35' WIDE! Everton battle back and win a corner of their own. Richarlison curls a cross into the path of Mina, but he powers his header wide of the right post.

33' Aldeweireld rises highest from the resulting corner from Son, but his header deflects off Calvert-Lewin and behind for another corner.

32' OVER! Spurs break on another counter through Bergwijn. He finds Son in space on the edge of the box, who fires at goal. Keane throws his body in the way of the effort and deflects the ball just over the bar.

31' SAVE! Moura feeds Son, who sees his snap-shot blocked. However, it rebounds into the feet of Bergwijn. He drills a low strike at goal, but Olsen is in the right place to make the stop.

30' Spurs break on the counter through Ndombele and he feeds Lamela in the final third. The Argentine has options, but he plays his offload behind Bergwijn, which allows the home side to flood men back and quell the attack.

28' CHANCE! Lamela is afforded space and time to line up a strike from distance. He angles a strike towards the bottom-left corner, but Olsen gets down to claim the ball.

26' SAVE! Olsen keeps his side in the contest with a super stop to deny Son. Doherty feeds a low ball into the box for the South Korean to attack. He fires with power on his right foot at goal, but the Everton keeper turns it over the bar.

25' Hojbjerg tries to send Moura into space down the left flank, but Godfrey is alert to make the interception.

23' Doherty finds space down the right, but Digne comes across to close off room for a cross and the Spurs' attack peters out.

21' The game has been an open contest and both teams are playing good football. Spurs have taken their chance, but Everton will feel that they are more than in the game.

19' OFF THE POST! Calvert-Lewin latches on to a deflected cross at the back post. He stabs a strike towards goal from close range, but Lloris reacts to turn it against the post and behind for a corner.

17' BLOCK & SAVE! Sanchez has to be alert to deny Richarlison as he strikes at goal following a lay-off from Sigurdsson, but the Colombian produces a block on the slide. Everton recycle possession before Godfrey fires low towards the bottom-right corner from distance, only to be denied by a sharp save from Lloris.

15' Since the beginning of last season there have been 11 goals scored by Colombians for Premier League sides, with eight of those coming at Goodison Park (James Rodriguez x4, Mina x3, Sanchez x1).

13' Spurs probe once again on the edge of the Everton box. Son lines up a left-footed drive at goal, only to see his effort saved by Olsen.

11' Son leads a break forward into the Everton half before offloading to Lamela. He cuts back in the right inside channel, but cannot find space to shoot. The Argentine finds Ndombele, but his pass for Bergwijn travels behind for a goal-kick.

9' Ndombele is moving gingerly as he walks to the sideline. The midfielder might be able to tough it out this evening.

8' Ndombele gets a sore one in a challenge with Davies and has to receive treatment on the field.

7' Son has notched his 11th assist in all competitions this season - his joint-most in a single campaign for Spurs.

5' Doherty collects in space on the right flank and he has time to lift a cross into the box, but his delivery evades the white shirts in the middle.

3' Bergwijn makes another probing run down the left flank and he wins a corner for the visitors.

1' SAVE & OVER! Spurs should be ahead as Olsen denies Lamela, while Moura blasts over on the rebound. The visitors press forward through Moura and he offloads to Bergwijn on the left flank. He clips a cross into the box for Lamela to attack, directing his header towards the bottom-left corner. Olsen produces a sharp save, but Moura pounces on the rebound. However, the Brazilian can only blaze his strike over the bar.

1' We're underway at Goodison Park.

Tottenham haven’t lost consecutive meetings with Everton in all competitions since December 2012, while they haven’t lost twice to the Toffees in the same season since 1985-86.

Spurs have made two changes to their side from their win over the Baggies. Kane starts on the bench amid his recovery from an ankle injury and is replaced by Bergwijn. Serge Aurier is injured, which sees Doherty slot into right-back to replace the Ivorian.

Everton have made three changes to their side from their draw against United. Mina comes back into the fold to replace Holgate, who drops to the bench. Keane or Godfrey will slide out to right-back. Andre Gomes and James Rodriguez miss out due to injury and are replaced by Iwobi and Sigurdsson. Doucoure drops deeper into the midfield to fill the void left by the Portuguese. Olsen remains between the posts with Jordan Pickford still sidelined.

TOTTENHAM SUBS: Harry Winks, Harry Kane, Joe Hart, Joe Rodon, Eric Dier, Moussa Sissoko, Dele Alli, Japhet Tanganga, Carlos Vinicius.

TOTTENHAM (4-2-3-1): Hugo Lloris; Matt Doherty, Davinson Sanchez, Toby Alderweireld, Ben Davies; Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Tanguy Ndombele; Steven Bergwijn, Erik Lamela, Lucas Moura; Son Heung-min.

EVERTON SUBS: Mason Holgate, Niels Nkounkou, Bernard, Seamus Coleman, Joao Virginia, Harry Tyrer, Tyler Onyango.

EVERTON (4-2-3-1): Robin Olsen; Michael Keane, Ben Godfrey, Yerry Mina, Lucas Digne; Tom Davies, Abdoulaye Doucoure; Alex Iwobi, Gylfi Sigurdsson, Richarlison; Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

Spurs ended a run of three-straight defeats in the Premier League by beating West Brom last week. Jose Mourinho's men needed a lift to stop their downward spiral and were on form to defeat the Baggies. They've beaten lower league opposition in the form of Marine and Wycombe Wanderers to reach the fifth round, but face a much tougher task tonight in their bid to reach the quarter-finals for the first time in three years.

Everton overcame Rotherham United and Sheffield Wednesday to advance to the fifth round of the FA Cup. It has been five years since the Toffees reached the quarter-finals of the competition, and 26 years since the club last won the trophy. Carlo Ancelotti's men have lost only one of their last seven games, having recorded a memorable comeback to draw 3-3 against Manchester United last time out in the Premier League.

Good evening and welcome to the live commentary of the FA Cup fifth-round match between Everton and Tottenham at Goodison Park.
