Roberto Soldado scored his first Premier League goal in almost 10 hours to give Tottenham a 2-1 victory over Everton on Sunday.
By ending Everton's five-game unbeaten run in the league, Tottenham climbed above the visitors from 10th to 7th - just two points from the top four.
While Eriksen and Soldado may steal the Monday headlines for the hosts, who else stood out? Did Mirallas' stunning drive earn him a respectable score?
See below for player ratings from White Hart Lane.
Show all 22 1 /22Tottenham Hotspur 2 Everton 1 - Player Ratings Tottenham Hotspur 2 Everton 1 - Player Ratings Hugo Lloris Could do little about Kevin Mirallas’ brilliant opening goal but was quickly out in the second half to keep out Seamus Coleman. 7
Tottenham Hotspur 2 Everton 1 - Player Ratings Vlad Chiriches Struggled early on against Mirallas but eventually had a reasonable game in the unfamiliar position of right-back. Booked. Sub: Eric Dier (71 mins). Drafted in at right-back when Chiriches took a knock. 6
Tottenham Hotspur 2 Everton 1 - Player Ratings Federico Fazio The odd nervy moment, but deserves praise for the way he dealt with the threat of Romelu Lukaku. Relished the physical battle but lucky not to concede a penalty with an apparent handball late on. 7
Tottenham Hotspur 2 Everton 1 - Player Ratings Jan Vertonghen This was the kind of commanding display the Belgian produced regularly in his first season at the club. Strong in the tackle and always in the right place. 8
Tottenham Hotspur 2 Everton 1 - Player Ratings Ben Davies He was fortunate that the visitors did not attack more down their right, as he looked uncertain when Everton full-back Coleman ran at him. Booked. 5
Tottenham Hotspur 2 Everton 1 - Player Ratings Ryan Mason As energetic and hard-working as ever but a little less precise than usual with his passing. Went close with a rising drive from 20 yards. 6
Tottenham Hotspur 2 Everton 1 - Player Ratings Nabil Bentaleb An encouraging return to the starting XI. Played with discipline in central midfield, where his mobility and aggression improved his team’s solidity. 7
Tottenham Hotspur 2 Everton 1 - Player Ratings Aaron Lennon Justified the decision to bring him back with a diligent display that he crowned by teeing up Spurs’ second goal for Soldado. Sub: Erik Lamela (61 mins) 5. Offered little in attack or defence. Booked. 7
Tottenham Hotspur 2 Everton 1 - Player Ratings Harry Kane His best performance of an increasingly promising season. The forward was everywhere, keeping possession, winning it back and running effectively with the ball. Superb. 9
Tottenham Hotspur 2 Everton 1 - Player Ratings Roberto Soldado Tidy finish for the goal – his first in nearly 10 hours of Premier League football – and the odd smart touch but still not offering enough. 6
Tottenham Hotspur 2 Everton 1 - Player Ratings Christian Eriksen Sublime finish for the equaliser plus lots of clever passing and hard work. Seems to be working his way back towards top form. 8
Tottenham Hotspur 2 Everton 1 - Player Ratings Tim Howard Nothing he could have done about Christian Eriksen’s equaliser. Delivered an otherwise decent display. 7
Tottenham Hotspur 2 Everton 1 - Player Ratings Seamus Coleman Charged forward at every given opportunity but lacked the quality we have come to expect from his final deliveries. 6
Tottenham Hotspur 2 Everton 1 - Player Ratings Phil Jagielka Will have been frustrated not to have prevented Roberto Soldado’s goal on the brink of half-time. 6
Tottenham Hotspur 2 Everton 1 - Player Ratings Sylvain Distin While his experience and aerial ability were vital, Spurs found it too easy to dance around the former Portsmouth man. 6
Tottenham Hotspur 2 Everton 1 - Player Ratings Leighton Baines Caused chaos down the left flank and gave Vlad Chiriches a torrid afternoon. 8
Tottenham Hotspur 2 Everton 1 - Player Ratings Muhamed Besic Delivered a typically dynamic and purposeful display in the latter third but his presence was needed in defence. 6
Tottenham Hotspur 2 Everton 1 - Player Ratings Gareth Barry Marshalled his midfield well and pressed forward when given the opportunity. An assured performance. 7
Tottenham Hotspur 2 Everton 1 - Player Ratings Kevin Mirallas Terrorised the Spurs defence, switching sides on occasion, and scored a wonderful goal too. 8
Tottenham Hotspur 2 Everton 1 - Player Ratings Samuel Eto'o Tried desperately to make his mark but failed at almost every attempt. 6
Tottenham Hotspur 2 Everton 1 - Player Ratings Ross Barkley Posed a threat as usual but also showed a willingness to track back when losing the ball. 7
Tottenham Hotspur 2 Everton 1 - Player Ratings Romelu Lukaku Will have to do more if he is to start repaying his hefty price tag. 6
Tottenham are next in action against Chelsea on Wednesday, while Everton host Hull City.
