Spurs secure Premier League survival by beating toothless Everton

Tottenham secured their Premier League status with a 1-0 final-day win over toothless Everton thanks to Joao Palhinha's first-half goal.

The threat of a first relegation in 49 years loomed on Sunday but Spurs rose to the occasion, seeing off their lacklustre visitors to ensure it is their London rivals West Ham who are instead consigned to the Championship next season.
