Tottenham midfielder Yves Bissouma got back in favour with boss Ange Postecoglou as his superb strike inspired a 4-0 rout of Everton in north London.

Postecoglou picked Bissouma following a one-game suspension after a social media video that showed him inhaling nitrous oxide.

"You know what it's like when you punish your child and they do everything right for the next two days?" Postecoglou had said of Bissouma's return.

The Mali international made the most of his reprieve in the 14th minute, lashing home from the edge of the area for his first league goal for Tottenham in his 52nd appearance.

Son Heung-min doubled Tottenham's lead in the 25th minute, forcing Jordan Pickford into an embarrassing mistake as the Everton keeper was robbed by the South Korean for a simple finish.

Cristian Romero headed Tottenham's third in the 71st minute. Son bagged his second with a clinical finish six minutes later.

Everton are bottom of the Premier League table after two games having lost their opening 3-0 against Brighton & Hove Albion.
