Tottenham came from behind yesterday to beat Everton 2-1 with goals from Christian Eriksen and Roberto Soldado. 

Everton had led through a superb Kevin Mirallas goal in an open game, in which Spurs gradually improved to gain a deserved win.

Both sides had unsurprisingly made various changes after successfully reaching the knockout stages of the Europa League on Thursday.

Everton dominated the opening exchanges, as Ross Barkley firied over after good work from Leighton Baines, before Barkley turned provider for Romelu Lukaku, who only shot tamely at Hugo Lloris.

Mirallas put Everton deservedly in front with a goal of the highest quality, as the Belgian cut inside Soldado before delivering a superb curling finish into the roof of the net.

A poor backpass from Vlad Chiriches nearly put Lukaku in before Spurs suddenly equalised, wholly against the run of play. 

It emerged through a positive run by Harry Kane, who beat two mean before Tim Howard saved his shot. 

However, Eriksen showed composure to chip the rebound into the vacant far corner of the net.

The equaliser gave Tottenham confidence, seen from in-form Kane who was a handful all aternoon, who had another excellent charge forward only ending by shooting straight at Howard.

Eriksen had a deflected shot go just wide, while Seamus Coleman tested Lloris after cutting inside and Soldado could not capitalise on a limp header from Phil Jagielka.

However, in first-half stoppage time, the striker gained his first league goal of the season, sweeping calmly into the far corner from the right after superb work from Aaron Lennon.

Everton offered a sporadic threat going forward though Tottenham dominated the second-half to claim an impressive win.
