Everton and Tottenham Hotspur both missed the chance to move up to second place in English football's Premier League after a battling scoreless draw at Goodison Park.
Spurs climbed to fourth, level on 20 points with second-placed Chelsea and Liverpool who are third.
Everton stayed seventh on 19 points, level with Manchester City and Southampton.
The day's only other game ended in a 1-0 win for Cardiff City over arch-rivals Swansea City in the first ever Welsh derby played in the English top flight.
