Harry Kane struck a brace as Tottenham eased to a 4-0 victory over Huddersfield at the John Smith's Stadium to move up to third in the Premier League table.

The visitors netted three goals inside the opening 23 minutes to put the game out of sight, with Kane's double meaning he has now scored seven goals in his last three games.

The Tottenham striker opened the scoring inside the ninth minute, slotting into the bottom corner after Kieran Trippier had headed a poor Huddersfield clearance into his path.

Tottenham were two ahead seven minutes later with Ben Davies picking out the bottom corner after the ball was diverted into his path by Chris Lowe following an impressive Spurs counterattack.

And Kane then made it three for the visitors another seven minutes later, this time spinning away from the Huddersfield defence before bending a strike into the far corner from the edge of the box.

It could have been four for Spurs soon after when Dele Alli hit the post from close range, while Huddersfield also hit the woodwork just before half-time, with Laurent Depoitre rattling the bar from distance.

With the three points all but secured, Tottenham were able to see out the second half with the home side never looking like getting back into it.

Substitute Moussa Sissoko made it four late on, scrambling the ball home from close range after being teed up by Davies.
