Harry Kane scored an impressive double to secure victory for Tottenham against Everton, despite a late Toffees fightback courtesy of Romelu Lukaku and Enner Valencia.

Kane netted either side of the half-time break to take his season tally to 19, and it looked as though the home side would ease to victory until the final few minutes.

Lukaku then provided a scare for Spurs, slotting past Hugo Lloris to become Everton's all-time leading Premier League goalscorer, before a frantic last few minutes saw a goal apiece for Dele Alli and Valencia.
