Everton 0-0 Tottenham: Antonio Conte earns first points on return to the Premier League as Spurs are saved by VAR denying the hosts a penalty after Hugo Lloris looked to have brought down Richarlison

Tottenham Hotspur were saved by a VAR call overturning a penalty decision going against them as Antonio Conte's Premier League debut as Spurs boss saw his side draw 0-0 at Everton.

Hugo Lloris was penalised for bringing down Richarlison during the second half, but after a penalty was awarded, VAR urged referee Chris Kavanagh to check his pitchside monitor which led to the decision being overturned.

Spurs could have won the game late on when Giovani Lo Celso hit the post a minute before time, before Mason Holgate was sent off in stoppage time for a dangerous lunge on Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg following a VAR check.
