Harry Kane scores again as Tottenham controls Everton in 2-0 win (video)

Tottenham had more than two-thirds of the ball and worked it around the park in its very Antonio Conte way, but finish wasn’t there until Kane was snapped down chasing a Jordan Pickford rebound.

Everton gets its 10th point, three clear of the bottom three after 10 games.
