Michael Keane scored one of the goals of the season to rescue Everton a point against Tottenham at Goodison Park.
With Spurs heading for all three points, courtesy of Harry Kane’s penalty, Keane struck an absolute rocket of a shot from outside the box, which flew into the top right corner.
Remarkably, Keane’s goal came just moments after Lucas Moura had been handed a straight red card for a shocking challenge on Keane.
The Brazilian lunged in with his studs up and the referee was left with little option but to give a red card.
Michael Keane’s brilliant goal
Keane is not known for being a goalscorer – in fact, he hadn’t scored this season, before Monday’s game.
But the centre-back will remember this one for a very long time.
Commentators even compared the strike to Vincent Kompany’s famous goal against Leicester back in 2018.
We’ll let you judge which goal was better…

Keane’s goal will feel even sweeter, given he was almost injured by Lucas just before it happened.
While Lucas’ challenge did not appear to be malicious, the referee had little choice but to send the winger off.

Moura’s red was not the only one of the game, with Everton midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure also sent-off after striking Harry Kane in the face.
Kane’s decison to go to ground so easily was heavily criticised by Everton boss Sean Dyche, but the decision stood even after VAR had checked.
The result means Spurs’ hopes of Champions League qualification are hanging on a knife edge.
