adminLONDON. — Tottenham’s Roberto Soldado scored his first Premier League goal of the season with the winner as Spurs beat Everton 2-1 at White Hart Lane. The hosts had fallen behind early on to a brilliant Kevin Mirallas strike. But Christian Eriksen equalised six minutes later before the Spanish striker grabbed what turned out to be the deciding goal. Everton, who had a late penalty claim for handball ignored, drop into 10th place while Spurs go seventh.
Defeat for Roberto Martinez’s side ended an eight-game unbeaten run in all competitions, while counterpart Mauricio Pochettino finished a satisfying seven days that reaped three victories across domestic and European competition.
This season the Londoners had lost four of their league matches that, like this, followed on from a Europa League fixture on a Thursday but they showed few signs of tiredness until late in proceedings. — BBC Sport.
