59’
Brilliant goals from Harry Kane and Tanguy Ndombele helped Tottenham Hotspur move up to fifth in the table with a 3-1 win at Sheffield United.
Spurs went ahead on five minutes when Serge Aurier headed in a Son Heung-min corner from close-range.
Jose Mourinho's side added a superb second goal five minutes before the break.
Kane produced an exquisite turn from Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg's pass, before firing beyond Aaron Ramsdale from outside the penalty area for his 12th league goal of the season.
Sheff Utd responded on 59 minutes when David McGoldrick scored with a firm header from John Fleck's excellent cross.
But any hopes of a second-half fightback were dashed by Ndombele three minutes later, when he sublimely lobbed the ball over Ramsdale from an acute angle, after a dinked through-ball by Steven Bergwijn.
Spurs are now on 33 points, four behind leaders Manchester United. Sheff Utd remain bottom, 11 points from safety.
