Kane then tussled with the Toffees midfielder, before Doucoure hit the Tottenham man in the face.

The Spurs striker went down and Doucoure was promptly shown a red card.

Both sets of players then attempted to diffuse the situation on the touchline, with Everton boss Sean Dyche urging his players to keep their heads.

But less than 10 minutes later things went from bad to worse for the hosts at Goodison Park.

Ivan Perisic knocked the ball back for Cristian Romero who was upended by Michael Keane inside the area and referee David Coote pointed to the spot.

Kane stepped up to send his England team-mate Jordan Pickford the wrong way to give Spurs the lead.
