27'GOAL! Everton 1-1 Tottenham (Son Heung-Min)
Pickford came out of his box to clear the ball, but there was a mix-up with Zouma, who looked like he was in control of the situation, which allowed the ball to bounce to Son who was alert and he hits his shot from the right of the box to find the far netting.
35'GOAL! Everton 1-2 Tottenham (Alli)
Son was left in a lot of space as he hit his low shot towards goal and Pickford got down to make a save, but the rebound isn't cleared by his defence and Alli reacts quickest and strikes the ball first time to find the bottom corner of the net.
42'GOAL! Everton 1-3 Tottenham (Kane)
Trippier took the free-kick which came very close to finding the back of the net, but his shot rebounded off the post and once again the Everton defence didn't react quick enough and Kane had the time to hit his shot in the middle of the box and find the back of the net.
48'GOAL! Everton 1-4 Tottenham (Eriksen)
The ball came back to Eriksen in the centre of the box; the shot is hit sweetly and Pickford can't get close to it as it nestles into the bottom right corner. 4-1 Spurs!

He is surrounded by Spurs defenders but he moves across the box to create more space for himself and once he does, he hits his shot low under Lloris' outstretched hand.
61'GOAL! Everton 2-5 Tottenham (Son Heung-Min)
It looks like he was just offside, but the linesman didn't raise his flag, and Son gets around the static Everton defence and his shot goes through Pickford's legs.
74'GOAL! Everton 2-6 Tottenham (Kane)
Everton's high line has constantly caught them out in this game as Spurs get in behind them again. The move is good and Kane is in the middle of the box to get his boot to the cross and his shot is hit diagonally across goal and Pickford didn't get close.
