Harry Kane scored two goals in three minutes as Tottenham Hotspur beat Leicester City 3-0 to boost their hopes of European football next season while putting the Foxes' top-four ambitions in the balance.

Spurs went ahead when Son Heung-min’s shot deflected in off James Justin in the sixth minute.

Kane struck in the 37th minute, finishing after a pass from Lucas Moura.

The pair combined again three minutes later, when Lucas found his team-mate on the left and Kane curled in a superb shot for his 16th goal against Leicester in all competitions.

Leicester dominated the second half but could not find a goal and so remain in fourth, only above Manchester United on goals scored. 

Spurs rise to sixth on 58 points.
