Roberto Soldado scored his first Premier League goal of the season to help Tottenham Hotspur secure a comeback win over Everton and move seventh on the standings on Sunday.
Everton’s Kevin Mirallas opened scoring in the first quarter of play, curling a sublime right-footed shot into the top corner from 20 yards after Tottenham failed to clear a free-kick.
Christian Eriksen kept his composure to level for the White Hart Lane team six minutes later, chipping in after Harry Kane’s low shot was pushed into his path by goalkeeper Tim Howard.
Eriksen almost doubled his tally for the day on 35 minutes but his deflected shot flew just past the post with Tim Howard wrong-footed.

Soldado slotted his low shot past Howard after Aaron Lennon’s clever pass to place the home team in ascendancy on the stroke of half-time- his second league goal for 2014.
Mauricio Pochettino’s men probed on for a third goal, moving the ball forward at fast tempo early into the second half.
Everton got in the thick of things after the hour mark, but were met by a resilient Tottenham defence, who clung on to vital three points to climb above Everton- now tenth on the standings.
