Kane Scores, As Spurs Rout Crystal Palace 3-0

Harry Kane continued his fantastic Boxing Day scoring record as Tottenham eased to a 3-0 win over 10-man Crystal Palace in the Premier League.

Goals from Kane and Lucas Moura in quick succession put Spurs in command, the England captain netting in his sixth consecutive Boxing Day fixture to match Robbie Fowler’s Premier League scoring record of nine goals the day after Christmas.

Wilfried Zaha was then dismissed before half-time for two bookable offences and Son Heung-min added a third goal after the interval as Spurs cruised to three points at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Victory means Spurs are unbeaten in six top-flight games since Antonio Conte’s arrival, moving further into contention for a Champions League place with games in hand on those around them in pursuit of the top four.

Son’s long-range strike forced a smart save from Jack Butland, while Lucas inexplicably headed off target in a dominant opening from Conte’s men.

Spurs deservedly took the lead when Kane fired into the bottom-left corner from Lucas’ pass to cap a swift attacking move, with the Brazilian forward heading in a second just two minutes later following Emerson Royal’s cross.

Zaha was then given his marching orders for two needless cautions, both for fouls on Davinson Sanchez, before the interval.

Kane deflected Son’s corner just over after the break before the South Korea forward capped an excellent London derby performance from Spurs by flicking Lucas’ delivery past Butland.
