Tottenham kept themselves in the top-four race with a 5-0 hammering of Everton, who are in grave relegation danger after a gutless showing in north London. Spurs have been inconsistent in recent weeks but showed their best as, after Michael Keane’s own goal put them ahead early on, they ran riot, with Harry Kane scoring twice and Son Heung-min and Sergio Reguilon also netting.

It was another Kane masterclass, with his second goal a particular highlight, and he took his tally to 14 goals in 15 games against Everton. This was as bad a performance as the Toffees have put in this season and there has been no bounce under Frank Lampard, with a fourth loss in five league games since he took over. There is little doubt that they are involved in a relegation dogfight as they are just a point above 18th-placed Burnley, though they do have a game in hand.

Spurs equalled their best ever Premier League win at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and will now have real belief that they can gate-crash the Champions League qualification places. Follow the reaction and analysis after Spurs thrash Everton in the Premier League:

Everton are sitting just one point above the bottom three (with a couple of games in hand) but Frank Lampard will be seriously worried about their form.

They’ve lost seven of their eight league games in 2022 and are in serious danger of getting relegated. Newcastle and Aston Villa went down in recent years, will Everton be the next ‘big name’ club to face the drop?

Tottenham 5 - 0 Everton

Tottenham have had two players - Dejan Kulusevski and Matt Doherty - register two assists each in a single Premier League game for the first time since December 2017 against Southampton - Dele Alli and Son Heung-min.

Tottenham 5 - 0 Everton: Five things we learned as Harry Kane inspires thrashing

Tottenham kept their Champions League hopes burning brightly with a convincing 5-0 win over a thoroughly dismal Everton on Monday night.

Everton made a fast start but were two down by the 20-minute mark, with Ryan Sessegnon’s cross turned into his own net by Michael Keane before Son Heung-min ran in to quickly double Spurs’ lead.

Jordan Pickford continued to be busy throughout the first half, denying Son and Matt Doherty, but he had no chance when Harry Kane beat the offside trap to race through and smash in the third.

Frank Lampard would have hoped for a response after half-time but it only got worse - Sergio Reguilon scored 50 seconds after the restart and Kane volleyed in a second before the home side took their foot off the pedal.

Here are five things we learned during the game on Monday night:

Full-time: Tottenham 5 - 0 Everton

90+3 mins: Tottenham inflict a mauling on Everton to move within three points of a place in the top four. Harry Kane scored another two goals against Everton, he’s got 14 in 15 games against the Merseyside club now.

Son Heung-min and Sergio Reguilon both found the back of the net for Tottenham too. A perfect night for Antonio Conte’s men.

Tottenham 5 - 0 Everton

90 mins: Three minutes of added time to play. Everton have now lost seven times in eight league games since the start of the year. It’s the worst form of any team in the Premier League.

Tottenham 5 - 0 Everton

88 mins: Harry Kane has been awarded the man of the match. Whenever he’s turned it on recently Tottenham have earned great wins. 3-2 versus Man City, 4-0 versus Leeds and now 5-0 against Everton. He’s an absolutely vital part of this team and Spurs need to try an keep hold of him again in the summer.

Tottenham 5 - 0 Everton

85 mins: Cheeky play from Kane who collects the ball and flicks it over a defender into the path of Kulusevski arriving from the right. Tottenham are having a bit of fun out there now. Kulusevski attempts to drive into the area but is stopped by a well timed tackle from Mason Holgate.
