Hot-shot Harry Kane fires Tottenham into Europa League

Everton 0 Tottenham 1: Harry Kane rounded off his memorable breakthrough campaign with his 31st Tottenham goal of the season as Mauricio Pochettino’s men sealed fifth spot and a place in next term’s Europa League.

The PFA Young Player of the Year headed Eric Dier’s 24th-minute cross beyond Tim Howard, meaning Everton missed out on the top 10 just one year on from their fifth-placed finish in Roberto Martinez’s maiden campaign.

Spurs started brighter and claimed a deserved lead when Kane stooped to connect with Dier’s inviting first-time delivery, guiding his header beyond Tim Howard for his first goal in five matches.
