Everton are definitely quicker to press the Spurs midfield this half. The out ball from the hosts defence is still lacking a bit of accuracy, though.

According to out friends at Opta, Spurs are outdoing Everton in terms of distance covered. The visitors have covered 75.5km between them compared to the hosts 71.5km. Everton are definitely applying themselves more since the break, though.

Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy looking pensive in the stands. Wonder what the future holds in the Spurs transfer market?

Moussa Dembele is coming off for Spurs now. French midfielder Benjamin Stambouli is his replacement. Looks like the game might be a bit tighter now, but Dembele appears to have an injury as he applies ice to his leg.

Brendan Galloway steams through the heart of the Spurs defence, but Hugo Lloris beats him to the loose ball as it just runs away from the 19-year-old. Great run.

Everton's full-backs Brendan Galloway and Seamus COleman have been pretty quiet in an attacking sense, but they are getting further forward now. Leon Osman fires a volley wide but better intent from the hosts.

Substitute Muhamed Besic is straight into the action, picking up a loose ball on the edge of the box and firing just past Hugo Lloris's right-hand post. Close.

Players back out and Bosnian and Hercegovina international Muhamed Besic replaces Ross Barkley in Everton's midfield. Spurs get us under way.

Massive cheer at Goodison when the Stoke-Liverpool score was read out. Liverpool five goals in arrears. At half-time. In Steven Gerrard's last game. That game is live right here.

Looks like that warning Mauricio Pochettino gave to his Spurs players about their futures recently is having an effect. "Nobody is sure that they are staying at the club," he said. Good man-management.

Could be worse, though. Imagine if you're a Liverpool fan today. 5-0 down at Stoke at half-time. Ouch. Meanwhile, Southampton are 1-0 down at Manchester City.

So as it stands, Spurs will finish fifth, Liverpool sixth and Southampton seventh.

And that's the last action of the half. A few boos as Everton players head off the pitch. Not been great so far, it has to be said.

Into stoppage time, Everton's Gareth Barry clips the ball into Kevin Mirallas, Ross Barkley works it out to the right and Seamus Coleman's cross is tipped away by Hugo Lloris. The hosts best effort so far.

Kevin Mirallas is played in behind the Tottenham defence towards the left-hand side of the penalty area, he dribbles around Spurs keeper Hugo Lloris, and tries to cross into an empty net but it's just over. Decent effort. He's been Everton's liveliest players so far.

Stoke 5-0 up against Liverpool now. Great send-off for Steven Gerrard eh?

Great through-ball by Christian Eriksen towards Harry Kane, which is cut out, but Tottenham are swarming all over Everton in midfield. Romelu Lukaku appearing isolated so far. Stoke 4-0 up against Liverpool now.

In the race for the Europa League spots, or fifth, Liverpool are getting beaten 3-0 by Stoke. Advantage Spurs for now.

The average positions of the two teams tells its own story. Spurs camped in Everton's half.

"Tottenham are finding this too easy for Everton's liking."

Everton's Ross Barkley loses the ball now and Harry Kane is onto it but Phil Jagielka blocks his England team-mate's shot. Ross Barkley - great talent but frustrating at times. Wish he'd shoot more for a start.
