Everton draws Tottenham on Michael Keane’s spellbinding strike

Everton’s Michael Keane gave away a penalty and then reclaimed honors as the unlikeliest of wonder goal scorers in a significant 1-1 draw with Spurs that saw both clubs finish with 10 men at Goodison Park.

Abdoulaye Doucoure was sent off for a swing at Harry Kane, who would score his 22nd goal of the year from the penalty spot when Keane chopped down Cristian Romero in the second half.

Keane was then on the other end of Tottenham’s red card, as Lucas Moura’s ill-timed and wild challenge ended on top of the defender’s ankle. More remarkable than all of that was Keane, the rarest of goal scorers and very rarely with anything but his head, struck as sweet a ball from distance as you’ll see to leave Hugo Lloris pawing for air.

Sean Dyche’s renewal of Everton continues to put the club in view of safety. The Toffees are one of four teams on 27 points, more more than now 18th-place Leeds., two more than 19th-place Leicester City, and four off bottom-stuck Southampton.

Michael Keane had played all of 22 minutes for Everton this season when the club’s new boss and his old one, Sean Dyche, tabbed the ex-Burnley back

“I just remember Ben passing me the ball,” Keane said on USA Network after the game. “I was moving forward slowly and I saw a space open up from the right. I know I can strike the ball. I just hit it. It came off my foot nice and it was a bit of a shock to be fair.”

Keane’s reintroduction to the lineup was a 4-0 loss at Arsenal, but he’s since registered an assist in a 2-2 draw with Forest, helped along a 1-0 win over Brentford, and now gone 90 in back-to-back points against Chelsea and Spurs.
