An own goal from Michael Keane, from Giovani Lo Celso’s shot, gave Tottenham the lead and they looked fairly in control until Son’s lack of a challenge allowed Everton to break and Richarlison to go close with a shot past Lloris just before the break.
Tottenham captain Hugo Lloris became embroiled in a heated burst-up with team-mate Heung-Min Son as they left the field for half-time against Everton.
Lloris appeared to take exception to Son not chasing down an opponent in the dying moments of the half, with his team leading 1-0, and the goalkeeper ran straight over to the forward after the whistle.
Son, who completed military service with South Korea in April, seemed to dismiss his skipper’s demonstrations and the pair had to be broken up by team-mates as Lloris became angrier and attempted to push his team-mate.
The pair were seen making up with a hug as the team prepared to return for the second half, but it was a surprising eruption after a good half for Spurs following their 3-1 defeat at Sheffield United last time out.
Lloris plays down clash with Son
Tottenham captain Hugo Lloris and Heung-Min Son had to be separated by team-mates as they left the field for half-time against Everton Speaking to Sky Sports, Lloris played down his half-time row with Son after the 1-0 win over Everton.
The Spurs captain said: “It just belongs to the changing room. Outside you can say whatever you want.
“There is a lot of respect between all the players. What happened between me and Son is just something that is part of football sometimes, but there is no problem at all.
“You can see at the end of the game we are more than happy to be part of the team and to have the three points. To concede a chance six seconds before half time because we don’t press properly. It annoyed me but it’s part of football, no problem, we move on.”
The win sees Spurs eventually climbed to eighth in the Premier League table after holding out for a 1-0 victory over the Toffees.
