Analysis with Stats Zone

Mauricio Pochettino's men had threatened to continue their awful run of form on home soil when Kevin Mirallas fired home an early beauty – the sixth goal Spurs have conceded in the first 15 minutes of games this season – but turned it around before half-time via goals from Christian Eriksen and Roberto Soldado.

The north Londoners are now unbeaten in their last 6 Premier League games against Everton at White Hart Lane (W4 D2), and leapfrog the Merseysiders to rejoin Arsenal on level points in seventh place.

  • Christian Eriksen has scored 11 Premier League goals in 2014; Yaya Toure (14) and Steven Gerrard (12) are the only midfielders with more.

  • Everton have kept just 2 clean sheets in their last 22 Premier League visits to London.
  • Roberto Soldado ended a run of 627 minutes without a league goal.

  • Spurs have gained 9 points from losing positions this season, the joint-most with Chelsea.
  • Tottenham’s last 5 Premier League games have ended in a 2-1 scoreline (won 3, lost 2).
  • Spurs’ 38.6% share of possession was their lowest in a Premier League home game they won since November 2012 (34.8% in a 2-1 win against Liverpool).
  • Everton have scored in their last 8 Premier League away games, but have won only 3 of these matches.
