Spurs have made a habit of bouncing back from slow starts to win in recent months, but this time they failed to score after just five minutes.

A draw moved West Ham a point ahead of seventh-placed Newcastle but they missed out on a best chance of taking all three points when Michail Antonio fired straight at Guglielmo Vicario. Chance.

Tottenham are just two points adrift of fourth-placed Aston Villa and extended their lead over sixth-placed Manchester United to nine points.

“It’s disappointing not to get a better result, but it was a difficult game,” Tottenham coach Angie Postkoglu said.

“There are still a lot of games to go. I would be very surprised if all the games weren’t tight. Everyone is fighting for something. We have to keep our level up.”

Everton’s unpopular record

Injury-plagued Newcastle’s hopes of European football next season were dashed by Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s late penalty equalizer for Everton.

Alexander Isak opened the scoring for the fifth consecutive game at St James’ Park.

The Swede took his tally for the season to 19 when he cut through Jarrad Branthwaite and fired into the far corner in the 15th minute.

“Alexander Isak is a fantastic technician,” Newcastle head coach Eddie Howe said. “He looks like he’s going to score every game now.”

How Sean Dyche longs for a striker of Isaac’s quality. But Calvert-Lewin ended a nearly six-month goal drought after Ashley Young was brought down by Paul Dummett in the penalty area.

Everton set a new club record of 13 games without a win in the Premier League, leaving their 70-year top-flight career still at risk.
