Roberto Soldado ends goal drought as Tottenham beat Everton 2-1

London: Roberto Soldado scored his first Premier League goal in almost 10 hours to give Tottenham a 2-1 victory over Everton on Sunday.

After 593 minutes without a league goal, the struggling striker netted his first goal in first-half stoppage time, after Christian Eriksen had already canceled out Everton midfielder Kevin Mirallas' well-struck opener.

By ending Everton's five-game unbeaten run in the league, Tottenham climbed above the visitors from 10th to 7th - just two points from the top four.
