Everton collected their first point since beating Liverpool in the Merseyside derby last monthAurora Galli's late penalty rescued a draw for Everton despite a dominant performance by Women's Super League in-form side Tottenham.
Galli converted past Rebecca Spencer after Heather Payne was knocked to the ground inside the Spurs box.
Tottenham had gone in front after Grace Clinton nodded a deep Drew Spence cross past Courtney Brosnan in the first half.
But Brosnan's goalkeeping performance stopped Spurs extending their advantage, and the visitors managed to salvage a point.
Her heroics also prevented former Toffees player Clinton from finding the back of the net in the second half with a quick save after a goalmouth scramble.
Everton's Katja Snoeijs squandered an early chance when she directed a free header into the ground inside the six-yard box.
The draw means Tottenham, who had won three consecutive matches before Sunday, are third in the WSL and miss out on a chance to advance to second.
Everton are ninth after collecting just their fourth point of the season.
