What were the highlights of Tottenham's 4-0 victory over West Brom?
Over the top for Kane! Tottenham turning on the style Harry Kane gets his hat-trick
Brilliant from Kane, brilliant from Tottenham. It takes them four points behind the leaders Chelsea. 4-0 winners against West Brom. In truth, one-way traffic. 21 attempts from Tottenham to West Brom's three. 11 on target from the home side, none from West Brom. That's the first time this has happened this season. 23 touches in the opposition box to West Brom's seven. And West Brom didn't have a single corner. That's only the second time this season that has happened for Tony Pulis' side. In terms of possession, Tottenham absolutely dominated their second-highest possession stat this season, 73% only bettered with their game against Sunderland. West Brom, 27. They've never averaged more than 50% this season.
How did Harry Kane perform and what records did he achieve?
And look at those total passes, 670 from Tottenham to West Brom's 248. Well, Harry Kane is closing in on Diego Costa as the Premier League's top scorer. A hat-trick for him today. Christian Eriksen got the ball rolling with an assist for the first, both now with Greg Whelan.
Well, Christian and Harry, with match ball in hand, congratulations. Harry, is that just reward for a thoroughly impressive performance again today?
Yeah, we were outstanding today. I'd say that would probably be our best performance of the season. Yeah, could have scored a lot more if it wasn't for Ben in goal. We made some unbelievable saves. So, yeah, we were very good today at home. We wanted to keep our streak going and we've done that.
Christian, you really went at West Brom right from the start today. What was the thinking going into this game?
Yeah, I think we wanted to continue what we finished against Chelsea, in control but still going forward.
What tactical advantages did Tottenham showcase against West Brom?
Like Harry said, we had a lot of chances in the first half where it could have been much more, but we took the two goals and it was even better in the second half.
Did the manager emphasise to you as players just how important it was to follow up that Chelsea performance?
Yeah, of course. I think everybody knew that to follow up with Chelsea was not a one-off. We're a team that's a fight and they've shown that today as well.
Harry, the first goal was always going to be important today, a fine finish, but what credit does the gentleman next to you deserve?
Fantastic. I know when he gets around in areas, he's going to thread them little balls through, so I just make sure I try and stay onside, make the runs, and he put it on a plate and I was happy to finish it off.
A great performance from you in midfield, Christian. A little unfortunate you feel not to have got a goal for yourself today because the second goal will probably go down as an own goal.
Yeah, I'm a bit unlucky at the moment. No, it's all right. Yeah, it's a claim, but it's OK. I think I'll take this instead, so that's all right also.
How did Christian Eriksen contribute to the team's success?
Harry, it's a landmark day for you. We can see with the match ball in your hand. You're the Tottenham player who's reached 60 Premier League goals the quickest.
That's fantastic. I don't look at the records too much. I just try and go out there, play, score for my team, win for my team. So, yeah, that's fantastic. So, no, just a fantastic day all round.
And is this pretty much the perfect way to crown what's been a very special week for you on a personal level?
First-time father? Yeah, no, it's amazing. The week's been a bit of a whirlwind, obviously, having a little daughter. Yeah, just amazing, the whole week, and to finish it off like this, it's just the best way possible.
What a way to finish off. You're also the Premier League man of the match, of course. Christian, if you do the honours, please.
Here's the brick. You're welcome, mate.
Very well done, guys.
Congratulations on receiving the brick. He talks about a whirlwind week on a personal front. That was a whirlwind performance from Tottenham, wasn't it?
Wow, yeah, it really was. Fantastic. With the ball, without the ball. The only disappointment is the Vertonghen injury. Apart from that, it was perfect today. They pressed the ball so well.
