KANE, SON HELP SPURS DECIMATE LEEDS TO MOVE UP TO THIRD.

Harry Kane and Son Heung-min each scored and provided an assist as Tottenham Hotspur won 3-0 against Leeds United to go third.

Leeds started the stronger and Ezgjan Alioski hit the side-netting in the fourth minute.

Spurs won a penalty on 29 minutes when Alioski fouled Steven Bergwijn on the edge of the area. Kane converted for his 10th league goal of the season.

On 43 minutes, Kane crossed for Son to score the second with a sweeping finish. It was Son’s 100th goal in all competitions for Spurs and the 13th time the pair have combined this season, a joint Premier League record.

Toby Alderweireld confirmed the win with a header from Son’s corner five minutes after the break.

Leeds threatened throughout, but failed to score in an away match for the first time this season.

Matt Doherty’s stoppage-time red card for a second booking was the only negative for Spurs, who have 29 points, four behind Liverpool and Manchester United.

Leeds are six points behind in 12th.
