Harry Kane 2nd goal – 56 minutes

This could just as well be titled ‘Everton’s calamity’, but instead, credit deservedly goes to Spurs’ relentless pressing.

Regardless of the fact that his side had already been hounded for almost an hour, Robles chose to roll the ball out to Morgan Schneiderlin. The midfielder will have quickly regretted dropping back to receive it, as hesitation and a panicked short pass to Williams allowed Dele Alli to close down.

Alli’s hard work was rewarded with an assist as he prodded through to Kane, who looked certain to score, and dutifully did so.

At this stage, the game looked beyond Everton. Yet, considering the home side’s apparent dominance, both goals had been extremely preventable. Koeman was rightfully furious to see his team trail by two.
