Tottenham ran riot at Goodison Park on Sunday, scoring 6 goals and moving within two points of second-placed Manchester City.
Harry Kane, Son Heung-min, Dele Alli and Christian Eriksen were the scorers on an incredible night but Mauricio Pochettino was forced to make one change in the first half.
Dele Alli had to be replaced by Erik Lamela after picking up a knock when jostling with Jordan Pickford.
The English star seemed to pick up a hamstring injury but Pochettino didn’t believe the problem was serious.

Losing Alli for even a couple of weeks would be a big blow to the side as the Christmas schedule is packed. We will also miss Son Heung-min for a few weeks in January as he travels for the Asian Cup with South Korea.
Tottenham play four times in the Premier League and FA Cup until January 4, and hopefully, Alli will be fit enough to participate in a couple of games.
Spurs have been extremely unlucky regarding injuries this season and we never seem to have a fully-fit squad for selection.
