London: Emmanuel Adebayor gave Tottenham's Champions League pursuit a timely tonic on Sunday, clinching a 1-0 victory over Everton to dislodge the losers from fifth place in the Premier League.
By overcoming one of this season's top-five teams for the first time despite being largely outplayed, Tottenham moved just three points behind fourth-place Liverpool.
Spurs scored from their only shot on target, with Adebayor connecting with a free kick, taken swiftly and smartly by Kyle Walker, and sending the ball past goalkeeper Tim Howard in the 65th minute.
Having collected just one point from its previous two matches, Tottenham's season is back on track again, moving nine points behind leader Chelsea.
