• 

  TOTTENHAM RATINGS: Hugo Lloris - 6, Had very little to do but confidently dealt with anything that came his way. Reuters

• 

  Cristian Romero - 7, Was dominant in his defending, doing well to head away Donny van de Beek’s cross. He was booked for a late and unnecessary challenge on Richarlison. Reuters

• 

  Eric Dier - 7, Cleaned up well and rarely looked stretched throughout the match. Was unlucky to see his header go behind off the crossbar. Reuters

• 

  Ben Davies - 7, Was solid defensively, doing well to step across and help Ryan Sessegnon to deal with Gordon. Reuters

• 

  Matt Doherty - 8, Played a brilliant pass to create a chance for Son, while he did well to create space for himself before being stopped by Jordan Pickford. Played a perfectly weighted ball for Harry Kane’s second of the match. Getty Images

• 

  Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg - 7, Looked confident throughout and was his usual disruptive influence. Did well to win a header under pressure in his own box to prevent any danger materialising. Getty Images

• 

  Rodrigo Bentancur - 7, Played a great pass through for Kane to run onto for the third goal, just one moment that showed how comfortable he was on the ball. Getty Images

• 

  Ryan Sessegnon - 6, Required help on multiple occasions as Gordon got the better of him, but ran behind Seamus Coleman and delivered a brilliant cross for the opener. EPA

• 

  Dejan Kulusevski - 8, Got a nice touch to assist Son and provided a lovely pass through for Sergio Reguillon for the fourth. Showed brilliant footwork and awareness to create another chance for Son. AP Photo

• 

  Son Heung-min - 7, Fired his shot through Pickford for Spurs’ second but wasted two more good opportunities to score. Was booked for pulling Gordon back. Getty Images

• 

  Harry Kane - 9, Put Michael Keane under pressure for the opener, then showed quick thinking in the build-up to the opener. Having missed the target when everyone in the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium expected him to score, the striker came back and finished clinically for Spurs’ third before hitting a peach of a volley for Spurs’ fifth.

• 

  SUB Sergio Reguilon (Sessegnon, HT) - 8, Scored within 40 seconds of his introduction and wasn’t afraid to express himself. Lost the ball cheaply at one point but recovered well to win it back. Getty Images

• 

  SUB Davinson Sanchez (Romero, 52’) - 7, Authoritatively stopped Richarlison when the forward tried to go outside him, then made a good sliding tackle to stop the Brazilian’s burst towards the box. Came close to finding the bottom corner with a header. AFP

• 

  SUB Steven Bergwijn (Son, 66’) - 6, Was unlucky to see his shot go straight at Pickford. Played a couple of sloppy passes but worked hard and looked bright. Got into a good position in the latter stages but couldn’t keep his shot down. PA

• 

  EVERTON RATINGS: Jordan Pickford - 4, Should have done much better for Spurs’ second. While the England international could do little about Spurs’ other goals, he stood up well to stop shots from Son and Doherty. AP Photo

• 

  Seamus Coleman - 3, Sessegnon got behind him for the opener while the Irishman conceded possession to start the moves that resulted in two Spurs goals. He did hold Son up well to allow Gordon to make a recovery tackle and got ahead of Kane to make a block. Reuters

• 

  Mason Holgate - 3, Was taken out of the game by Kulusevski’s touch for Son’s goal, then encapsulated Everton’s calamitous defending by smashing the ball at Michael Keane’s face before the break. Showed a worrying lack of awareness at times. Getty Images

• 

  Michael Keane - 3, Fired the ball into his own net for the opener, then completely lost Kane for the third and went off at half time after taking a ball to the face. AFP

• 

  Jonjoe Kenny - 4, Struggled to get his usual quality of deliveries into the box and showed a lack of awareness to keep Kane onside for the third goal. Getty Images

• 

  Abdoulaye Doucoure - 4, Worked hard but struggled to truly make his mark on the game. As was the case with many of his teammates, Doucoure faded in the second half. AFP

• 

  Allan - 4, Didn’t get close enough to Kane for Spurs’ second and was often played around by Spurs’ midfield. Hit a sorry shot over the crossbar in the final moments. EPA

• 

  Donny van de Beek - 5, Hustled well and was one of very few Everton players who looked even close to making anything happen in the first half. Was quiet in the second period before being taken off. Getty Images

• 

  Anthony Gordon - 6, Was undoubtedly Everton’s brightest player and he also worked hard defensively, racing back to dispossess Son on the edge of his own box. His set pieces weren’t the best. Reuters

• 

  Dominic Calvert-Lewin - 5, It wasn’t completely his fault as there was very little quality service, but he was largely anonymous. Made some poor touches in the first half, while he saw his shot from the edge of the box blocked before firing agonisingly wide in the second. EPA

• 

  Richarlison - 5, Rarely threatened and made a mess of his early shot. He did work hard for large periods of the game and tried to make things happen. Getty Images

• 

  SUB Jarrad Branthwaite (Keane, HT) - 4, Didn’t do enough to close down Kulusevski for Spurs’ fourth. Was pickpocketed by the Swede then found himself unable to stop him delivering a dangerous cross. Reuters

• 

  SUB Vitalii Mykolenko (Van de Beek, 59’) - 5, Struggled to contain Spurs’ attacks on his side and didn’t always look completely comfortable in possession. Reuters

• 

  SUB Dele Alli (Calvert-Lewin, 69’) - 5, Received a warm welcome from the Spurs fans. Showed for the ball and moved it well but was unable to hurt his former teammates. EPA

Antonio Conte challenged Tottenham to push for a top-four finish in the Premier League after their 5-0 rout of Everton pushed the woeful visitors deeper into relegation danger on Monday.

Conte's side ran riot in North London after Michael Keane's own goal started the spree early in the first half.

Son Heung-min increased Tottenham's advantage and Harry Kane bagged the third before the interval.

Sergio Reguilon made it four and Kane netted again to complete the demolition.

Tottenham's second successive league victory moved them up to seventh, three points behind fourth-placed Arsenal, who have played one game less than their North London rivals.

"A good game. Also a good answer after the last defeat," Conte said, referring to the FA Cup extra-time defeat to second-tier Middlesbrough last week. "It's not enough. The players and I want to fight for a position at the top of the table.

"We have to take this responsibility in the last 12 games to give everything. I want an answer from my players against Manchester United on Saturday.

"I want to see if we're getting better in a tough game against an important team fighting with us for the top four."

For slumping Everton, the alarm bells are ringing after a fourth defeat in five league games since Frank Lampard replaced the sacked Rafael Benitez.

Lampard's team are languishing just one point and one place above the relegation zone.

"I could tell there was a fear of relegation when I came in. This challenge isn't bigger than I expected, I knew it would be [hard]," Lampard said.

"Individual errors led to goals which took the game away from us. When you know what's coming and fall foul of it, that's the most disappointing thing.

"The reaction was not good enough. It was the reaction of a team used to losing away from home. We need to sort it out."
