Tottenham Hotspur maintained their good run of form at the weekend. The North London outfit got the better of Everton 3-2 at home in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.

Spurs took the lead as early as the 20th minute when Harry Kane found the net. The England international striker made it 2-0 to the home team 11 minutes into the second half.

Romelu Lukaku halved the deficit for Everton in the 81st minute, but Dele Alli restored Spurs’ two-goal advantage in the second minute of injury time.

Although West Ham United-owned Enner Valencia scored for Everton just a minute later, it proved to be nothing more than a consolation, as Spurs won 3-2.

Former Arsenal midfielder Ray Parlour was following the match, and he made an amusing comment about Spurs head coach Mauricio Pochettino on social networking site Twitter.

Parlour claimed that when Alli scored, Pochettino was singing ‘Barcelona Barcelona’. The former Arsenal star was obviously referring to speculation that the Argentine boss would leave Tottenham for the Spanish club at the end of the season.

According to The Express, Pochettino is the favourite to replace Luis Enrique at Barcelona. Tottenham fans have responded to Parlour’s claim on Twitter.
