Harry Kane double powers Tottenham Hotspur to 5-0 win over Everton
Categories: SPORTS FOREIGN COUNTRIES
Everton’s Premier League relegation fears deepened considerably as they collapsed to a 5-0 defeat at Tottenham Hotspur with Harry Kane scoring twice for the rampant hosts on Monday (March 7). Michael Keane’s calamitous own goal began the rout in the 14th minute and Son Heung-min made it 2-0 before Kane slotted home his first of the evening to make it 3-0.Everton’s seventh loss in eight league games left them one place and one point above the bottom three and manager Frank Lampard faces a big task to ensure top-flight survival. The Merseyside club’s 22 points is their lowest ever top-flight haul after 25 games. Disorganised in defence, lacking bite in midfield and non-existent up front where they did not even manage an attempt on target, they made life easy for Tottenham who are now only three points behind fourth-placed Arsenal having played a game more.“Individual errors led to goals which took the game away from us. It’s difficult when you’re 2-0 or 3-0 down,” Lampard said. “The reaction was not good enough. It was the reaction of a team used to losing away from home. We need to sort it out.”
