Deadly Harry Kane made himself Tottenham’s highest scorer in Premier League history with a second-half double.

The England striker struck in the 47th and 59th minutes from close range to make it 98 in total, one above the previous record holder Teddy Sheringham.

Man of the Match Son Heung Min had opened the scoring in the 25th minute to become only the second Spurs player to score in five consecutive home Premier League games after Jermain Defoe.

Son also hit the post as Mauricio Pochettino’s side ripped through Everton to go level on points with fourth-placed Liverpool.

Christian Eriksen added a fourth with ten minutes to go when he capped a well-worked move with an emphatic finish from inside the box.

Here are five talking points from Wembley...

1. Kane can't stop scoring

He has already smashed up the superlatives, ripped up the record books and forced his critics to eat his words. Here his brace eased him past Teddy Sheringham’s 97 to make him Tottenham’s highest scorer in Premier League history. double. Both goals were classic Kane - sneaking in past a sleepy defence to do what he does best.

Mauricio Pochettino reckons he could yet beat Jimmy Greaves’ goals record. Considering Kane is still only 24 that is not a bad shout. He has two successive Golden Boots under his belt and is already on course for the hat-trick. Whatever happens, he has established himself as a very special footballer.

2. Tosun shows promise

If ever there was a day for the 2017 Turkish Footballer of the Year to watch and learn it was this one as Harry Kane filled his boots. There were, however, signs of promise from his approach to 62-minute debut. Sleeves rolled up, he remained in close proximity to Rooney who looked set to guide him through his baptism of fire.

Both men indeed soon found themselves in a tough battle against one of the most effectively-drilled defences in the Premier League. Tosun, a £26million capture from Besiktas, looked as though he might get some joy shortly after half time when he prepared to scamper clear - only for Dembele to nudge him off the ball. Tosun should have had a free-kick. Referee Craig Pawson looked the other way. Welcome to the Premier League son.

3. Son shines

Whether it happens for Tosun this season or not the 26-year-old can draw inspiration from Son Heung Min. Tottenham’s £18.7million forward scored just eight times in 40 appearances during his debut season, 2015-16.

After just three in the September, he had to wait until the December for the next and the end of January for the one after that. There were just three in the final three months of the season. The following year there were suggestions that Son had had enough.

That the former Bayer Leverkusen frontman wanted to go back to Germany. Now he is indispensable to Spurs. His speed, versatility, vision and clinical finishing are a huge asset to the north Londoners. Kane may have bagged his brace but it was Son that blew the hole in the wall in the first place with his opener. He also hit the post in the second half. He is very much another that Tosun should study if he wants lessons in how to make it in English football.

4. Spurs back on form

It would appear that Spurs are back - and firing on all cylinders again. Beaten just once in their last ten games, the confidence is flowing once more and the defensive solidity is return. They looked to be struggling before Christmas without Jan Vertonghen, the Belgian who provides so much leadership and organisation. He’d helped them to become the best defence in the Premier League last season and the joint-best the season before.

Initially after his injury in November, Tottenham looked there for the taking, dropping points against the likes of West Brom, Leicester and Watford. Now they are level on points with fourth-placed Liverpool ahead of Sunday’s clash for the Reds at home to Manchester City. The prospect of Champions League football for them is on again.

5. Holgate struggles

Not a great day for the young Everton defender in his first appearance since a controversial Merseyside derby. The question was whether Sam Allardyce would play him or take him out of the firing line. Big Sam went with the former and it wasn’t that Holgate was particularly bad. It was just that Spurs were at their irrepressible best.
