Harry Kane moved to the top of the Premier League scoring charts with four goals as Spurs thrashed Leicester 6-1.
Son Heung-min saw a few great chances come and go before
Kane broke the deadlock on 25 minutes, with the former atoning for his earlier
misses by providing the assist.
Son took goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel out of the equation
before laying the ball off to the England international to fire home.
The South Korean managed to get his name on the score sheet
before the break as he benefited from a sublime chip from Dele Alli.
Leicester improved after the restart and Marc Albrighton saw
an effort blocked by Eric Dier, with Riyad Mahrez forcing a save from Hugo
Lloris from the rebound.
Ben Chilwell did manage to reduce the deficit just before
the hour mark as the ball fell kindly to him after Lloris had rushed out of his
goal to deny Jamie Vardy.
Any hopes of a Foxes fightback were extinguished soon after
as Kane restored their two-goal advantage from a delicious cross from Toby
Alderweireld.
Victor Wanyama headed the ball across goal and Kane was
there to head home at the back post.
Kane turned provider with around 20 minutes to play as he
picked out Son, who still had work to do as he rounded a defender before
curling the ball beyond Schmeichel.
Kane completed his hat-trick in the final minute of normal
time thanks to debutant Filip Lesniak's assist and the in-form striker managed
to hit the target again in injury time to take his Premier League tally to 26,
two clear of closes rival Romelu Lukaku in the battle for the Golden Boot going
into the final round of fixtures.
