Wolves beat Nottingham Forest 1-0, while Fulham and Bournemouth drew 2-2 at Craven Cottage. Leicester City and Crystal Palace, meanwhile, drew 0-0 at the King Power Stadium.

Here, Stats Perform picks out the best facts from today's Premier League action.

Tottenham 2-0 Everton: Lampard's men punished again by Kane

Tottenham crossed the line against a tenacious Everton side in the final game of the day, meaning Conte's side have now taken 23 points from 10 league games. It is their highest points tally at this stage of a top-flight campaign since 1963-64 (24 points - including three points for a win).

Kane's opener was his 14th Premier League goal against Everton, with Leicester the only team he has scored against more often (18).

The England captain has now scored 30 of the 34 penalties he has taken for Tottenham in the Premier League, becoming only the fourth player to score more than 30 penalties for a single team in the competition after Frank Lampard (41 for Chelsea) , Alan Shearer (37 for Newcastle) and Steven Gerrard (32 for Liverpool).

Everton, who gave up a late second place to Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, have won just two of their 14 Premier League away games under Lampard (D3 L9), with two defeats at Tottenham (also 5 -0 in March).

Wolves 1-0 Nottingham Forest: hosts win on penalties

It was the story of two penalties at Molineux as Wolves edged their compatriots Forest.

The hosts ended a 370-minute Premier League goalless streak thanks to Ruben Neves' second-half penalty - only Raul Jimenez (seven) has scored more penalty goals in Premier League history the English elite than the Portuguese (six).

Brennan Johnson then squandered the opportunity to level from the spot, becoming the first Forest player not to score a Premier League penalty since Stuart Pearce against Coventry City in December 1994.

His attempt was saved by Jose Sa, who has now avoided each of the last two penalties he has faced in the Premier League, having conceded nine of the previous 10 kicks he has faced in the competition (a hit the post).

Fulham 2-2 Bournemouth: Mitrovic seals the point for Cottagers

Fulham ended an 18-game Premier League home defeat streak by conceding the opening goal as they played out an entertaining draw against Bournemouth.

Dominic Solanke has given the visitors an early lead, taking his commitment to five goals (two goals, three assists) in his last five Premier League games. This is already his best tally of goals in a single campaign in the competition.

Issa Diop brought the hosts level, before Jefferson Lerma restored Bournemouth's advantage with a cool finish. However, Aleksandar Mitrovic sealed a point for his team from the penalty spot.

The Serbian international has scored five of his seven Premier League goals this season in his five appearances at Craven Cottage - as many goals as he has scored in his last 30 home games in the combined competition.

Leicester City 0-0 Crystal Palace: Bore draw keeps Foxes struggling

A dismal goalless draw at the King Power Stadium means Leicester have won just five points in 10 Premier League games this season.

Accounting for three points per all-time win, it was only in 1983-84 that they had fewer points at this stage of a league campaign (two).

It was Palace's sixth goalless draw in the Premier League under Patrick Vieira. Indeed, they have played in more goalless draws than any other team in the competition since the start of last season.
