Tottenham fixtures

The race for Champions League football next season is very much alive and kicking after we eased to a commanding 3-0 victory in the north London derby at ...

Tonight, only one result was good for us, to win and get three points in a difficult game, a north London derby, and to win 3-0 was good for us, good for our fans. Even before this game, Kane was the top scorer in north London derby history in all competitions and he extended that with his brace. There was a lull in the game as we enjoyed lots of possession without adding to our opportunities while, at the other end, Lloris had to get down smartly to thwart Odegaard’s effort from Nuno Tavares’ cut-back with 10 minutes remaining. We didn’t need to wait long after the interval for number three though, just two minutes gone when Davinson Sanchez played a pass in to Kane in the box, he tangled with Gabriel trying to work some space for a shot and the ball popped out to Son who fired home from 12 yards out. What we then needed was a swift second goal to really stamp home our authority and it duly arrived on 37 minutes when Son’s corner was flicked on to the back post by Rodrigo Bentancur and Kane stooped to head home for 2-0. And the goal advantage also became a man advantage on 33 minutes when Holding received his marching orders for his second yellow card.
