Tottenham Hotspur blew away the gloom of a demoralising 10 days as Harry Kane's double helped them to a 3-1 defeat of Nottingham Forest to cement fourth spot in the Premier League.Kane headed them in front after 19 minutes and then blasted home a penalty in the 35th minute after Richarlison, who had earlier been denied a second-minute opener by VAR, was tripped inside the area.Tottenham - who went out of the FA Cup and the Champions League and lost to Wolverhampton Wanderers in the league in their last three games - sealed the points in the 62nd minute when Richarlison set up Son Heung-min for a neat finish.Forest, in danger of being sucked back into the relegation zone after a resurgence, only came alive when it was too late with captain Joe Worrall heading home in the 81st minute.Andre Ayew then had a stoppage-time penalty saved by Tottenham keeper Fraser Forster.An early goal from Dwight McNeil earned Everton a precious 1-0 win over Brentford at Goodison Park that dragged Sean Dyche's struggling side out of the relegation zone.McNeil put Everton in front with a superb left-footed finish in the opening minute after an assist by Abdoulaye Doucoure.The home side spurned several chances to extend their lead in the first half, with Michael Keane, Amadou Onana and Demarai Gray all guilty of poor finishing, while Brentford keeper David Raya saved well from Alex Iwobi following a corner.Everton keeper Jordan Pickford denied Rico Henry with an excellent save minutes into the second half in a match in which Everton's back line did brilliantly to deny Brentford's prolific target man Ivan Toney the time and space to operate.Clinical Chelsea continued their recent revival under Graham Potter - as Gary Lineker watched them breeze
