Tottenham finally made Antonio Conte enjoy with a scandalous little hand (5-0) to Everton, ridiculed by a sublime Harry Kane who, with his double, already surpasses Thierry Henry (175) as the sixth highest scorer in history of the Premier (176).
Frank Lampard’s return to London was a nightmare as Everton was a broken toy at the hands of Tottenham who overwhelmed him time and again on the counter following perfectly the strategy devised by Conte, whose name was chanted by the fans .
An own goal by Michael Keane, when trying to avoid the shot after Ryan Sessegnon overflowed on the left, was the beginning of the disaster for Everton (14′). It was then 2-0 in another against which Kane broke lines with a great move before giving up to Dejan Kulusevski, who left only Heung-Min Son to beat Jordan Pickford (17′).
Despite the efforts of his goalkeeper, Everton’s wound got bigger with each robbery and lethal counter by the ‘spurs’. Thus Kane made it 3-0 after a perfect pass from Matt Doherty (37′) and, already in the second half, the unmarked Sergio Reguilón, with his first ball after entering the break, assisted by Kulusevski (46′).
Conte asked his team to maintain maximum intensity and, after an Eric Dier header off the crossbar, Kane got the upper hand by finishing off a Doherty cross with a spectacular volley (55′). Tottenham, seventh, is close to three points behind fourth (Arsenal) and Everton (17th) remains just one from relegation.
