EPL Week 27 Review: Spurs and City close the gap on Chelsea

A full round-up of Week 27 of the English Premier League including Spurs coming out on top in an exciting encounter with Everton, Arsenal falling out of the top four for the first time this year, and Middlesbrough dropping into the bottom three after defeat at Stoke.

With Chelsea not playing until Monday night, Spurs closed the gap to seven points thanks to another couple of goals from Harry Kane. The England marksman scored one either side of half-time to cement his position as the Premier League’s top marksman with 19 goals. Kane has now scored 14 times in 12 league and cup games since the beginning of the year. It’s hard to believe he is only 23-years of age.

The man sitting second in those Premier League scoring charts is Romelu Lukaku, and it was the Belgian who gave Everton hope of a fightback when he scored his 18th Premier League goal with the clock running out of space to run. Lukaku is now Everton’s top Premier League scorer of all time with 61 goals.

But Lukaku’s strike didn’t give Everton the impetus they needed to take a draw from Fortress White Hart Lane. Instead, Dele Alli found space in the box to score off a Harry Winks free kick in injury time, and despite a late consolation goal from Enner Valencia Spurs held on to win their ninth consecutive home game.
