Tottenham are still searching for their first Premier League victory of the season after being held to a goalless draw by Everton at White Hart Lane on Saturday evening.
Mauricio Pochettino's side were the better throughout and carved out enough opportunities to break their duck but were thwarted by a combination of indecisive finishing and the goalkeeping heroics of Tim Howard.
Visitors Everton once again fielded centre-back John Stones to issue the latest statement that the 21-year-old won't be leaving Goodison Park this summer, and the England youngster helped his side to a clean sheet in front of the watching Roy Hodgson.
At the other end, Spurs striker Harry Kane endured another frustrating time in front of goal and was denied his first net-rippler of the campaign when Howard snuffed out his excellent first-half opportunity.
