Michael Keane's late howitzer earned Everton a 1-1 draw against Tottenham, in a frantic Monday Night Football encounter which saw both sides receive reckless red cards
Everton looked to have thrown their composure out the window when Abdoulaye Doucoure was sent off for violent conduct for an unnecessary push on Harry Kane, seven minutes before the Spurs striker put the visitors in front after Keane's foul on Cristian Romero in the box
But Tottenham substitute Lucas Moura was then given his marching orders for a high challenge on Keane, minutes before the Everton centre-back unleashed a long-range piledriver to rescue a point for the Toffees
"I'm buzzing to be honest," said the relieved Everton defender to  after the game
 "You won't believe me but every now and again I do hit the ball like that in training so to do it in a game is nice
"My team-mates have been expecting it for a while so to see one come off is amazing
 After giving the penalty away, I was just buzzing to make up for it
 It was important to not let that define my game
"I thought 'go on then, go on then, go on then', it's opened right up and then I just had a go
 To be honest, I didn't feel it come off my foot, it was that sweet
 I was in shock a bit
 I couldn't believe it had happened
That goal was enough to take Everton out of the relegation zone and up to 15th in the table, and while Spurs' point is enough to take them into the top four, they missed the chance to go one spot higher
A tense first period saw plenty of midfield promise from both sides - but a lack of efficiency in the final third let both teams down
Demarai Gray had the first chance of the game after just two minutes when he curled just over Hugo Lloris' bar after cutting inside from the left
Kane then wasted one of two first-half chances where you expected him to score, seeing his effort from inside the penalty box cleared off the line by Keane with Jordan Pickford beaten all ends up
Keane and Doucoure both went close for the Toffees, but ultimately Spurs' confidence grew as the first half went on, with Ivan Perisic creating two key chances from the left wing
The first saw him find Kane inside the penalty box but the Spurs striker could only end up firing wide, before the Croatian's second dangerous cross nearly found Pedro Porro at the far post, only for Dwight McNeil to intervene with a superb last-ditch clearance
Another poignant moment in the first half saw a moment for three Everton players to break their fast during Ramadan, the first time this period has been observed in the Premier League since refereeing bodies provided match officials with guidance on a pause in play
Everton came flying out the blocks in the second half, pressing Spurs high up the pitch and forcing them into several errors
 One of them saw Idrissa Gueye presented with a good shooting chance on the edge of the area but he blazed over the bar
And just as Doucoure was starting to take control of the midfield, he saw himself in the Goodison Park dressing room after a moment of madness
 Kane conceded a foul on Doucoure and the Everton midfielder put his hands on the Spurs striker's face once the whistle had blew
Referee David Coote was left with no alternative to send off the midfielder with no intervention from VAR needed
And seven minutes later, Everton lost more composure as Romero got to a loose ball in the box quicker than Keane and there was contact between the two defenders
Coote pointed to the spot and Kane beat England team-mate Pickford from 12 yards by sending him the wrong way
Despite the goal and player advantage, Spurs actually allowed Everton to grow back into the game
 Gueye saw a rasping drive tipped over by Lloris, who then held Keane's header from the resulting corner well
Then Moura's needless challenge six minutes after coming off the bench created more angst for the visitors
But nobody could see Keane's piledriver coming as he stepped out from defence to unleash a 25-yard hit that left Lloris stranded on the spot
Speaking in the  studio after the game, Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher believes the "fighting spirit" Dyche's team showed means they will not be relegated
"Everton won't go down
 Everton won't go down," said Carragher
 "There is no club at the bottom that is showing their fighting spirit
"You need more than that, you need goals
 You look at the remaining fixtures - they are tough
 But I can assure you that every side playing Everton is thinking, 'This is going to be a tough game'
"Meanwhile, fellow Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville added: "We know that it's a tough run-in that Everton have got
"You'd be stupid at this moment in time to predict which three are going to go down
 Before this weekend, we all probably thought Southampton and Bournemouth
"That still may be the case, but the reality at the moment looking at that it is Nottingham Forest, Everton and Southampton are the favourites
 But I can probably assure you it won't be those clubs because it will change every week
"Everton manager Dyche hailed the entire club after the point was rescued
Toffees supporters protested against owner Farhad Moshiri and the club hierarchy before the game a week after the club were referred to an independent commission for an alleged breach of the league's Financial Fair Play rules last season
"The way the team is working now, it's something I'm very proud of," he told Sky Sports
 "We want to play, of course we do, but it starts with hard graft and the basic fundamentals
"I thought we were terrific after conceding the penalty
 I thought we deserved the point
 It's another step in the right direction
 The mentality is getting stronger and stronger and it puts us in good stead moving forwards
"When I arrived here, I said to the supporters to give us a chance to breathe
 I know there's a lot of noise around the club and I was well aware of that for various reasons
 But the idea was to try to not let that emotion get involved on the pitch
"In the other corner, Tottenham interim coach Cristian Stellini felt his side should have seen out the match once they had taken the lead with a player advantage
"My feeling now is we lost two points this evening because with 11 men against them we have to control much better the game," he said on "We tried to do it but not in the way I expect to do it
"After our red card, probably the power of the game was for them
 It was difficult, they find an amazing goal and they draw the game
 With 11 vs 10, we have to do much better
