Defender Jarrad Branthwaite headed home a stoppage-time equalizer as Everton salvaged a 2-2 draw with Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on Saturday after Richarlison had scored twice against his former team.

Richarlison looked to have boosted Tottenham's push for a top-four finish by taking his tally to nine goals in his last eight league games. But, Branthwaite was on hand at the far post to nod home a deflected free kick in the fourth minute of added time for his first goal of the season.

The game ruined a perfect return to Goodison Park for Richarlison, who spent five seasons at Everton before joining Tottenham in 2022. The Brazil striker didn't celebrate either of his goals — instead pulling his shirt up to hide his face.

The draw means Tottenham is two points behind third-place Arsenal and could be leapfrogged by Aston Villa if Unai Emery's team beats Sheffield United later Saturday.
