Tottenham Hotspur are still searching for their first goal - and first win - of the Premier League season after being held to a goalless draw at home by Everton.

Here's how I rated the players and you can see how you scored them below.

• What do BBC Sport's player ratings mean?

  Antonin Kinsky: Good save from James Garner free-kick but lucky to get away with passing straight to Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, which he redeemed with a save, 6

  Archie Gray: Good runs forward from defence to add attacking threat. 7

  Jan Paul van Hecke: Early chance at the far post where he could have done better. Composed in defence. 6

  Micky van de Ven: Untroubled as Everton lacked attacking clout. 6

  Andrew Robertson: Kept Brennan Johnson under wraps and made some trademark surging runs to lend support going forward. 7

  Rodrigo Bentancur: Knitted things together well in midfield. Calm on the ball. 6

  Sandro Tonali: Showed the odd touch of class but yet to look like a £100m midfielder. 6

  Savio: Some lively moments on the right flank hinted at the promise of good things to come. Faded as the game went on. 7

  Mateus Fernandes: Needs to do more. One shot was greeted with ironic applause - not for him but Spurs having a shot. 5

  Omar Marmoush: No shortage of effort but no real impact. 5

  Dominic Solanke: First Premier League start of the season and looked rusty and lacking in match sharpness. 4

  Mohammed Kudus (on 63, Fernandes): Struggled to get into the game. 4

  Lucas Bergvall (on 63, Bentancur): Tried to give Spurs attacking thrust. One dangerous cross and almost won it with a late shot. 6

  Mathys Tel (on 63, Solanke): Couple of tricky runs. 5

  James Maddison (on 77, Marmoush): Little time to make an impact

  Tosin Adarabioyo (on 85, Gray): Late entrance

  Subs not used: Dubravka, Davies, Gallagher, Senesi.

  • Spurs still without a league goal after Everton draw

  Jordan Pickford: Good late save to keep out Bergvall effort. 7

  Ainsley Maitland-Niles: Tried a repeat of his blockbuster equaliser against Manchester United. Lightning did not strike twice. 6

  Jarrad Branthwaite: Superb early block and very solid. The game's outstanding player. His fitness will be crucial to Everton this season. 8

  James Tarkowski: No-nonsense contribution alongside Branthwaite. Effective. 6

  Vitalii Mykolenko: Had some tough early moments against Savio but stuck to his task. Wasted the occasional good crossing position. 5

  Harrison Armstrong: One of the gifted teenager's quieter days but worked very hard. 6

  James Garner: Unsung but had little chance to show his creative side as he tried to build a midfield platform for Everton. 5

  Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall: Some lovely touches but was unable to create as Everton looked short of attacking threat and missed one of their best chances. 6

  Brennan Johnson: Very poor against his former club. Last touch was missing a huge opportunity. Has looked better as an impact substitute than a starter so far this season. 4

  Thierno Barry: Thankless task for the raw striker ploughing a lone furrow up front. 5

  Tyrique George: Occasional flashes of pace and trickery but lacked influence. 5

  Jack Grealish (on 65, George): Couple of typical runs but unable to exert influence.

  Jake O'Brien (on 75, Maitland-Niles): Helped keep Spurs out at the end.

  Hayden Hackney (on 75, Johnson): Tried to inject some creativity.

  Subs not used: Travers, King, Graham, Dibling, Alcaraz, Keane.
