Tottenham 4-1 West Ham

Kane grabbed a second five minutes after half-time following James Tomkins’ gifting of possession to Eriksen for assist No.2, before right-back Kyle Walker made sure of a comfortable win when he finished off a one-two with Son Heung-min with an excellent outside-of-the-boot finish past Adrian.

It could easily have already been more.

The Hammers nearly hit back immediately, but Cheikhou Kouyate’s acrobatic effort from close-range, after a deflected Mark Noble shot, hammered back off the crossbar.

Spurs doubled their lead on 33. It would come on 34 minutes as a corner swung in and Toby Alderweireld picked off Winston Reid on a teammate, rose above Andy Carroll, and powered home a header for a 2-0 lead.

Had he done so, it would have been hard to see any way West Ham could have recovered from such a half-time deficit. “No excuses, they were much better”.

Harry Kane of Tottenham Hotspur celebrates scoring his team’s third goal in the Spurs’ 4-1 win over West Ham United at White Hart Lane.

This is the most promising Spurs outfit for many a year.

Harry Kane and Ryan Mason were among those players to benefit last term, with both players going on to win their England debuts, with Dele Alli the latest to break through following the completion of his permanent move from Milton Keynes Dons.

Tottenham were two up at half-time but it could have been more given they missed a number of early chances, including Kane scuffing wide when sent through one-on-one with Adrian.

Alli was signed from Milton Keynes Dons during the January window last season, but remained with the then League One side until the end of the campaign before moving to White Hart Lane. Lloris received a standing ovation from the home fans behind the goal and at full-time, expressed his gratitude by clapping all sides of the ground.

Mauricio Pochettino insists it is too early to talk about Tottenham as title contenders but believes his side do have enough quality to make the top four.

Hammers boss Slaven Bilic was gracious in defeat, saying: “It was a shock to be fair”.

The Metropolitan police confirmed the report of a 35 year old man being stabbed in the abdomen before the 4 pm kick off on Sunday which was eventually won by Tottenham Hotspur 4-1.

This was a game Spurs never looked like losing.

“I enjoy the atmosphere of these games, especially when we are at home”. That gives a good feeling, that we can beat every team.

The club are unbeaten in 11 games since losing to Manchester United on the opening day of the season, winning 5 and drawing 6.
