LIVERPOOL, Dec 24 (AP): Tottenham crushed Everton 6-2 on Sunday to move within two points of second-placed Manchester City in the Premier League.
England captain Harry Kane returned to Tottenham's starting lineup and scored two goals at Goodison Park.
After 18 rounds, league leader Liverpool has 48 points, Man City 44 and Tottenham 42.
Former Arsenal winger Theo Walcott fired midtable Everton ahead in the 21st minute. Gylfi Sigurdsson slipped in Dominic Calvert-Lewin and the striker held off Kieran Trippier before crossing for Walcott to tap in from close range. Tottenham needed just over five minutes to level through Son Heung-min.
The forward took advantage of a mix-up between Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford and defender Kurt Zouma, who got in each other's way attempting to clear a long Kane ball upfield, and Son produced a fine finish into an empty goal from a tight angle.
