| Spurs looked like champions today: Kane and Alli in particular were outstanding and Bournemouth were barely allowed a chance. Whether they will become champions is another question as Leicester continue to edge game after game. Anyway, for now Spurs are within five points of the top with seven games to go. | Spurs looked like champions today: Kane and Alli in particular were outstanding and Bournemouth were barely allowed a chance.

| 90 min+2: One last dash for Spurs. It comes from Eriksen, who is set up by Chadli’s sort ball on the edge of the area. The shot, well, it’s got power but little else. | 90 min+2: One last dash for Spurs. It comes from Eriksen, who is set up by Chadli’s sort ball on the edge of the area.

| 89 min: Kane wants that hat-trick. He gallops into space around 25 yards out and smashes the ball low to Boruc’s right. It flies wide though.

| 86 min: I thought Kane may could have been taken off by now. The game is safe and he’s expended ridiculous amounts of energy. I guess he’s after his hat-trick though - and he nearly gets it from close range but Boruc saves. | 86 min: I thought Kane may could have been taken off by now.

| 80 min: Nearly a brilliant goal. Walker and Carroll combine on the edge of the area before Eriksen’s beautiful turn finds him space. He squares the ball to Alli, who fluffs his shot. That’s his last action of the game and he’s replaced by Mason. Apart from the last ‘shot’ Alli had an excellent game though. | 80 min: Nearly a brilliant goal.

Boruc parries it into the path of Eriksen who only has to not fall over to make it 3-0. | That should do it. Kane is at the centre of things as usual.
