Kane double helps Tottenham thrash Swansea

Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen both scored twice as Tottenham Hotspur ran riot against a sorry Swansea side to keep in touch with the top four.

After losing their unbeaten league record the previous week at Chelsea, Tottenham hit back in emphatic fashion although they were frustrated for 40 minutes and needed a fortunate penalty to open the floodgates against the struggling Welsh club.

Kane set the ball rolling after Swansea's former Tottenham defender Kyle Naughton was adjudged to have tripped Dele Alli, although there appeared to be no contact.

There was no debate about the second on the stroke of halftime when Son Heung-min connected with a volley while horizontal to the ground and smashed the ball past Lukasz Fabianksi. Four minutes after the break Kane finished off a fine move from close range, taking his Premier League tally to 21 in 28 games this year, second only to Sergio Aguero.

Christian Eriksen bundled in the fourth before completing Swansea's misery with a superb stoppage-time strike -- the 31st goal Swansea have conceded in the league.
