Comeback kings Tottenham near top four as Roberto Soldado finally gets a goal
For the third time in four league games, Spurs fight back from a goal down
Roberto Soldado scored his first Premier League goal since March as Tottenham staged another comeback to beat Everton 2-1 on Sunday.
After 593 minutes without a league goal, the struggling striker netted his first goal of the season in first-half stoppage time, after Christian Eriksen had already canceled out Everton midfielder Kevin Mirallas’ well-struck opener.
“It hasn’t been easy,” Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino said. “It’s always frustrating for a striker when he doesn’t score ... he’s [been] feeling the pressure.”
By coming from behind to win 2-1 for the third time in four league games, Tottenham climbed above Everton from 10th to seventh – just two points from the top four.
