David Moyes marked his 300th game as Everton boss with a Premier League victory over Tottenham courtesy of Steven Pienaar's deflected winner.
Pienaar caused a delay at the start of the second half as he was wearing the wrong shirt - then six minutes after the restart he found the back of the net when his shot cannoned in off Vedran Corluka.
It was Everton's third win in a row at White Hart Lane and also meant a first home defeat for Spurs boss Harry Redknapp.
Both sides have aspirations of challenging the top four but Spurs, despite Redknapp's honeymoon period, are still in the thick of it at the wrong end.
Moyes, meanwhile, has Everton fans looking towards the top of the table after performance where they bounced back from last week's defeat to Wigan by packing the midfield and looking to break.
It made for a cagey contest where chances were difficult to come by. During a dull opening period, the only significant action of note was an injury to Aiyegbeni Yakubu, who was leading Everton's attack as a lone striker.
