Tottenham Hotspur eased into second in the Premier League with a 4-0 win over West Bromwich Albion, their sixth in a row, thanks to Harry Kane’s hat-trick.
Kane opened the scoring at White Hart Lane after 12 minutes, finishing Christian Eriksen’s pass.
Eriksen helped to double the lead 14 minutes later when his shot hit Jonas Olsson and then Gareth McAuley, whose deflection diverted it into the net.
West Brom emerged more competitive after the break but, despite the departure of Jan Vertonghen through injury, it was Spurs who continued to score.
Kane had been denied a number of times by Ben Foster in the West Brom goal, but got his second from Kyle Walker’s cross on 77 minutes and claimed the match ball after a one-two with Dele Alli five minutes later.
Despite defeat, West Brom’s ninth position is not under threat.
