Spurs and the Toffees finish in a scoreless draw.
Tottenham's wait for a first Premier League goal and win this season continued after Roberto de Zerbi's side were held to a goalless home draw by Everton.
Spurs have not scored in any of their first four league matches, over 400 minutes of football, and again struggled to create many meaningful moments.
Their best chance came in the fifth minute when Jan Paul van Hecke volleyed over a wide free-kick from Andy Robertson at the back post.
Everton were marginally the better side and Thierno Barry almost put them in front, but his close-range header was blocked by the face of Antonin Kinsky in the 50th minute.
The Spurs keeper also gave the ball away to Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall in the 65th minute with a sloppy pass out, but recovered to block the midfielder's finish with his leg.
With two points Tottenham are 17th in the table, one point above the relegation zone, while Everton are seventh and still unbeaten after the first four games.

The Gunners finish 2 nil up over a a 10 man Sunderland.
Arsenal maintained their perfect start to the season after two moments of brilliance from David Raya and Bruno Guimaraes set them on course for victory at Sunderland.
On 55 minutes, Gunners defender Ezri Konsa was penalised for pulling down Dan Ballard in the box, but goalkeeper Raya read Enzo le Fee's penalty with a superb save low to his left.
And its true significance was not revealed until 121 seconds later, when midfielder Guimaraes - brought on as a half-time substitute - brilliantly curled home the opener off the bar from 20 yards out.
It was the summer signing's first Arsenal goal and had added meaning as it came against Sunderland - the arch-rivals of his former club Newcastle United.
The win was sealed in the final seconds as Bukayo Saka slotted home a penalty after being fouled by Reinildo Mandava, who was given a second yellow card and sent off.
By finding a way to succeed once again, Mikel Arteta's men extended their 100% start to the season with six wins from six in all competitions, including four in the Premier League to put them top of the table.
Despite dominating possession with 66% of the ball in the first half, Arsenal had, until that point, their chances severely limited by Regis le Bris' disciplined Sunderland side.
Their best chances before the break included a Kai Havertz effort that flew over from six yards, before the German striker had a volley tipped over by home keeper Robin Roefs soon after.
Arsenal came close to a second before the late penalty when Ballard brilliantly cleared off the line to deny Havertz, while Jurrien Timber found the net but his header was ruled offside.
Sunderland have four points from as many league games to leave them 14th in the standings.

Queens Park Rangers and West Bromwich Albion end up 1 all.
West Bromwich Albion and Queens Park Rangers missed the chance to go top of the Championship as they drew 1-1 at The Hawthorns.
A drab game came to life in the final seven minutes of the first half as Chris Mepham's unfortunate own goal gave QPR the lead against the run of play before Callum Styles equalised three minutes later for the Baggies.
Both sides had chances after the break but neither could score a decisive goal.
The point leaves Albion third in the table, behind leaders West Ham United, who beat Wrexham 6-0 on Friday night, and Swansea City on goal difference while QPR are fifth.

The Boro defeat Norwich 4-3 in a ripper of a game.
Ashley Phillips scored an injury-time winner as Middlesbrough beat Norwich City in a seven-goal thriller.
Boro had led 3-1 only to be pegged back by a Canaries comeback in the second half before defender Phillips was on hand to steer home in the 91st minute.
It was the final act in a match that was full of drama from the start when Mohamed Toure had put the visitors in front inside a minute with his fifth goal of the season.
Boro turned that around to lead within seven minutes through Sebastian Berhalter and Amario Cozier-Duberry.
Berhalter's second of the afternoon towards the end of the first half gave them a cushion but they were stunned by Norwich's comeback.
The Canaries turned to their bench to try to get something and first Jovon Makama halved the deficit before Jacob Wright scored his first goal for the club to equalise five minutes later.
But just when it looked like Boro would drop their first points at the Riverside this season, Phillips grabbed the decisive seventh goal to move them up to fourth.
With a game in hand on the teams above them, Boro will go top of the Championship if they beat Millwall at home on Tuesday night, while Norwich dropped to 11th after a fourth loss of the campaign.

Southampton have a BIG 2nd half to come over Bristol City 4-1 overnight.
Cyle Larin continued his excellent form as he scored twice in Southampton's 4-1 win over Bristol City.
The Championship's player of the month for August put Saints ahead when he fired into the top corner.
But City will feel unlucky not to have gone into the break with a goal as Dom Ballard missed a number of chances.
They had more opportunities in the second period before Larin pounced again from close range after an hour for his eighth goal in nine games this season in all competitions.
The Robins did get the goal they deserved as Lorent Tolaj steered Rio Cardines' shot past Daniel Peretz soon after Larin's second.
But Kuryu Matsuki made it 3-1 late on as he swept the ball home from inside the box, before Finn Azaz got a fourth moments later as City were left to rue the chances they missed.
The win sees Southampton leapfrog Bristol City into seventh place on goal difference - both sides have 10 points as the Robins slip to 10th.
City ended the game having had 21 shots compared to the hosts' 10 and they got off to a superb start as Jason Knight forced an excellent seventh-minute save from Peretz from the edge of the box.
Ballard lifted the ball over Peretz only for Keven Schlotterbeck to clear it off the line five minutes later, while Tolaj had a header from a corner headed off the line soon after as Michael Skubala's side showed why they had won their past three matches.
But Larin showed why he is the Championship's top player as it stands as he held off four defenders and fired left-footed into the top right corner from the edge of the box after being put through by Azaz.
Ballard had two more chances as the half drew to a close - his weak effort was saved by Peretz before his glancing header from Cardines' cross just cleared the crossbar.
Tolaj headed wide for the Robins early in the second half as they continued to pressure their hosts, but it was Saints who doubled their lead - Leo Scienza cut the ball, James Ward-Prowse had a shot blocked but Larin was there to fire in from six yards.
However, Tolaj showed his speed of thought to convert Cardines' wayward shot moments later for his second goal since moving to Ashton Gate from Plymouth Argyle.
But Matsuki ended any doubt as to where the three points would go as he was the second recipient of an Azaz assist as he shot home left-footed, before Azaz turned from provider to scorer as substitute Divin Mubama broke down the right and fed the former Middlesbrough player who calmly finished.
