Micky van de Ven scored twice as Tottenham extended their unbeaten away run in the Premier League with a 3-0 win over Everton - the Toffees’ first defeat at their new Hill Dickinson Stadium.
Everton had been unbeaten in five home games since leaving Goodison Park, but Van de Ven’s first-half brace from corners ended that streak.
Pape Matar Sarr added a late header, assisted by former Everton man Richarlison, to seal Spurs’ dominant victory.
Everton thought they’d equalised when Jake O’Brien headed home from a corner, but VAR ruled it out for offside interference.
Spurs keeper Guglielmo Vicario also made several sharp saves to deny Beto and Iliman Ndiaye as Tottenham held firm.
The win lifts Thomas Frank’s side to third place, five points behind leaders Arsenal, while Everton drop to 14th - six points clear of the relegation zone.
Stepping in as captain for Cristian Romero, Van de Ven led by example with two powerful headers and a rock-solid defensive display alongside Kevin Danso.
His goals from set pieces came after a poor midweek showing against Monaco, giving Spurs a timely boost in attack.
David Moyes’ side were let down by poor finishing, with Beto and Thierno Barry wasteful in front of goal.
Despite lively wing play from Jack Grealish and Iliman Ndiaye, the Toffees lacked a cutting edge, and frustration grew as fans began leaving after Spurs’ third goal.
