Tottenham Hotspur and Everton played out a goalless draw in their Premier League clash at White Hart Lane this afternoon, leaving the hosts still searching for their first win of the season.
Spurs had the vast majority of the chances in North London, but the likes of Harry Kane, Nacer Chadli and Ryan Mason could not find a way past Tim Howard.

TOTTENHAM
Goal
Hugo Lloris: Made one decent stop to deny Cleverley in the first half, but that was the only testing moment for the skipper. (7/10)
Defence
Kyle Walker: Almost gifted Everton an opener in the first half with a poor touch. Played well aside from that error, though, and didn't shirk the challenge when things started to get a little heated. (6/10)
Toby Alderweireld: Coped with the threat of Lukaku comfortably and also saw a good header from a corner tipped over. (7/10)
Jan Vertonghen: Always helped to keep Lukaku's influence to a minimum and was very confident on the ball, including one run from the back that saw him make it all the way to the edge of the opposition box. (7/10)
Danny Rose: Very solid game defensively. Kept on his toes by the running of Kone, but dealt with any danger that came his way well. (7/10)
Midfield
Eric Dier: Never afraid to get stuck in and seemed to enjoy the physical nature of the match, particularly in the second half. Broke up play well. (7/10)
Nabil Bentaleb: Another who broke up play in the middle of the park, and also offered an attacking threat at times with one shot saved and another rolling narrowly past the far post. (7/10)
Mousa Dembele: Was looking good having made some positive runs before being forced off with an ankle injury early in the second half. (6/10)
Ryan Mason: Missed a couple of chances, including one glorious one from close range in the second half. Was positive with his running in a more advanced role than normal, though. (7/10)
Nacer Chadli: Good display on the left, cutting inside to great effect and testing Coleman all game. His finishing could have been better, though. (7/10)
Attack
Harry Kane: Missed the best chance of the match when played through one-on-one with Howard. Had a number of long-range efforts, suggesting that his lack of goals this term is affecting him. (5/10)
Substitutes
Dele Alli: Looked bright when he came on, always looking to make something happen, be it taking on his full-back, making a run inside, or putting the ball into the box. (7/10)
Alex Pritchard: Introduced with five minutes remaining and didn't have time to make an impact. (6/10)

EVERTON
Goal
Tim Howard: The clear man of the match. Made a string of fine stops to keep the scores level, including one particularly good one to deny Mason. (9/10)
Defence
Chris Coleman: Didn't have things all his own way up against Chadli, who kept the full-back busy throughout. (6/10)
John Stones: Solid at the back for the most part, but Tottenham's movement got the better of him on one or two occasions. (6/10)
Phil Jagielka: Limited Kane to mostly long-range efforts but, like Stones, struggled to deal with the runners from midfield as well. (6/10)
Bryan Oviedo: Produced a few dangerous crosses, including one that was glanced just wide by Oviedo. Was better going forward than he was at the back. (6/10)
Midfield
James McCarthy: Made one crucial interception to deny Kane a chance inside his own penalty area. Unable to prevent Spurs from winning the midfield battle, though. (6/10)
Gareth Barry: Looked off the pace at times, struggling to shackle Tottenham's midfield runners. Gifted the hosts two great chances with poor touches in his own area. (5/10)
Arouna Kone: Came close to nicking a win with a glancing header that went just wide. Always tried to be positive when in possession. (6/10)
Ross Barkley: Made some trademark driving runs from midfield to take the game to Spurs, but the quality of his set pieces needed to be better. (6/10)
Tom Cleverley: Tested Lloris with a powerful drive in the first half, but his match ended in despair as he was stretchered off with what looks like a serious ankle injury towards the end of the first half. (6/10)
Attack
Romelu Lukaku: Never really got involved in the match, and his frustration started to show when he became embroiled in a running dispute with Dier before being taken off. (5/10)
Substitutes
Kevin Mirallas: Replaced the injured Cleverley at the end of the first half but failed to trouble the Tottenham defence. (6/10)
Steven Naismith: On for Lukaku with 20 minutes remaining and wasted no time in getting stuck in, upsetting a few Spurs players, in particular Bentaleb, along the way. (6/10)
Gerard Deulofeu: Introduced with just six minutes of normal time remaining and wasted one good attacking position in favour of doing step-overs. (6/10)
