Tottenham Hotspur’s Emmanuel Adebayor boosted his team’s bid to qualify for the Champions League as the Togo striker’s clinical finish sealed a vital 1-0 win over Everton on Sunday.
Tim Sherwood’s side moved two points clear of Everton into fifth place and within three points of fourth-placed Liverpool, thanks to Adebayor’s second half strike at White Hart Lane.
Adebayor had spent much of the season in exile after falling out with former boss, Andre Villas-Boas, following a training ground row that featured the striker telling his then manager why his tactics weren’t going to work.
But Sherwood has brought Adebayor in from the cold and the former Arsenal star has repaid that faith with seven goals in 11 appearances since Villas-Boas’s sacking.
His latest heroics gave Spurs their first win in three matches and kept them firmly in the hunt for a lucrative place in Europe’s elite club competition.
Walker’s long pass picked out Adebayor, who adroitly controlled on his chest before holding off Coleman and smashing a low shot past Tim Howard at his near post to seal the points.
