Tottenham moved into the Premier League top four with a hard-fought home victory over Everton 2-1 at White Hart Lane.
Roman Pavlyuchenko put Spurs ahead with sixth goal in four games when he tapped home a Jermain Defoe cross from six yards.
Luka Modric doubled the lead with a fine second against Toffees just before the break.
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.
Meanwhile, defeat dents the visitors' own top-four aspirations, following recent wins over Chelsea and Manchester United.
Key performers for Redknapp were Gareth Bale, marauding down the left from full-back, Wilson Palacios crashing into tackles in central midfield and Modric pulling the strings cutting in behind the forwards.
The win lifts Tottenham into the Champions League places at the expense of Manchester City, on goal difference.
