- Ange Postecoglou's Spurs lose seventh Premier League game from last ten played
- Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Iliman Ndiaye and Archie Gray (OG) put Everton 3-0 up at half-time
- Toffees hand David Moyes first win of second tenure as pressure piles on Postecoglou
Everton eased their relegation worries with a narrow 3-2 win over an error-strewn Tottenham Hotspur, piling more pressure on Ange Postecoglou in the process.
The Toffees hadn't beaten Spurs at Goodison Park since 2012 when injury-time goals from Steven Pienaar and Nikica Jelavic sealed a memorable comeback win for David Moyes.
Moyes' return to the Everton dugout hadn't gone to plan in midweek against Aston Villa, but there was a completely different feeling on Merseyside once Dominic Calvert-Lewin opened the scoring with a smart low finish following good work from Idrissa Gueye.
Calvert-Lewin had gone 16 games without a goal, yet he displayed tremendous confidence to turn Archie Gray and Ben Davies inside out before wrong-footing goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky.
Tottenham, missing striker Dominic Solanke after he picked up a knee injury in training, should have levelled through Son Heung-min ten minutes later but his tame effort from Dejan Kulusevski's cutback was smothered by Jordan Pickford. Spurs' captain was made to pay for his profligacy soon after as Everton ruthlessly exploited more schoolboy defending from the visitors.
Orel Mangala had been denied by the post prior to Ndiaye's goal but Everton weren't to be denied a third before half-time as the unfortunate Gray, drafted into a back three alongside the hapless Dragusin and Ben Davies, deflected in Calvert-Lewin's flick across the six-yard box.
Spurs introduced Richarlison for Dragusin at the break - the latter had taken a nasty blow to the head at the conclusion of the first half - but James Maddison's high and wide effort with just over 15 minutes remaining was their first effort of any sort for 40 minutes.
