Tottenham Hotspur continued their brilliant run of form by comfortably accounting for Norwich City 3-0 at Carrow Road.

Dele Alli netted an early opener while Harry Kane helped himself to a brace as Mauricio Pochettino's Spurs edged above North London rivals Arsenal into third spot on the Premier League table.

Star youngster Alli gave the visitors the advantage in just the second minute when he pounced on Christian Eriksen's shot, which had been kept out by Declan Rudd, to volley home from close range for his seventh league goal of the campaign.

On the half-hour mark, Spurs were two to the good after Alli had been clattered into by Sebastien Bassong when attempting to follow-up Kane's stinging effort. Kane stepped up to the spot and sent Rudd the wrong way.

The North Londoners had to wait until the final minute of the game to nab a third goal and it came when Eriksen dispossessed Martin Olsson, allowing Kane to cruise into the area and stroke home a lovely left-footed finish for his 15th of the season.

Spurs remain five points off league leaders Leicester City but are now well entrenched in the top four as Alex Neil's Canaries sit just two points above the drop zone following a fourth straight loss.
