Everton's blistering first-half display secured a 3-2 win over a woeful Tottenham Hotspur side as David Moyes earned his first victory since returning for a second spell as manager at Goodison Park on Sunday, piling more misery on the visitors.

Needing to get back to winning ways after picking up one in their previous 12 league matches, Everton took the game to their troubled opponents, racing into a two-goal lead inside 30 minutes through Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Iliman Ndiaye.

Calvert-Lewin's fine finish was the first time his team had scored in a league game since Boxing Day, ending his own 16-match barren run stretching back to September.

Things went from bad to worse for Spurs in first-half stoppage time as young Archie Gray put through his own net to ensure Everton scored as many goals within one half of football as in their previous seven games in all competitions.

Goals from Dejan Kulusevski and Richarlison caused the home fans some concern late on but the hosts survived to record a win that moved 16th-placed Everton four points clear of the bottom three and within four of sorry Spurs who are one place higher.

"I'm delighted with how we went today, we needed a win for the lads and the club," Calvert-Lewin told Sky Sports.

"Everything clicked today. You go through periods where you're not hitting the back of net or getting the rub of the green. We were defensively solid and built from that."

Spence slips past Young before pulling a cross back for Richarlison just ahead of the byline. Seemingly all alone, the Tottenham striker is beaten to the delivery by a sliding Branthwaite, who pokes it out to Maddison 20 yards from goal. Without time to take a touch, he hits a curling first-time shot, but he sends it high and wide of the target.

Kulusevski drops deep into midfield before wrapping his body around a launched pass down the pitch that picks out Richarlison. With only the goalkeeper to beat, the substitute’s first touch lets him down, allowing Pickford to charge off his line to smother the ball.

Spence and Son work a short-corner routine out to Maddison looking for an alternate angle to deliver a cross, but Everton’s defence step forward in unison to deny the trio space, with Gueye eventually dispossessing the Tottenham full-back inside the 18-yard box.

Mykolenko and Lindstrom stand over the deadball but it’s the latter who takes it, sending his delivery skipping across the face of goal but without a team-mate in the area, it’s allowed to bounce behind harmlessly for a goal-kick.
