England forward, Harry Kane opened the scoring with a 29th-minute penalty after Ezgjan Alioski fouled Steven Bergwijn in the box.

The striker then assisted Son with a curling cross from the right as the South-Korean fired the hosts into a 2-0 advantage before halftime.

A 50th-minute Toby Alderweireld’s near-post header rounded off the scoring, before the stoppage-time dismissal of defender Matt Doherty for a second booking left Spurs with 10 men.
