Modric magic for Spurs
Tottenham ensured this week's virus at the club did not derail their
Champions League hopes as they held on for a 2-1 victory against
Everton and reclaimed fourth spot in the Premier League.
Roman Pavlyuchenko scored his sixth goal in four games when he
netted the opener at White Hart Lane, then Luka Modric doubled the
lead with a fine second against David Moyes' men.
Harry Redknapp's side, however, had to survive a second-half comeback
from the visitors, who scored through Ayegbeni Yakubu and then saw
substitute Landon Donovan miss an open goal.
However, defeat dents the visitors' own top-four aspirations, following
recent wins over Chelsea and Manchester United.
