Tottenham Strikes 5 against Stoke City

purs have repeatedly struggled to break down opponents content to arrive at Wembley with ten-men determinedly stationed behind the ball, but here they rose to the challenge. Harry Kane scored a confidence-boosting brace and Heung-min Son both scored and assisted, as well as fizzing in the cross which Stoke captain Ryan Shawcross deflected into his own net for Tottenham’s opener.
The South Korean was the true star of the show, excelling in a wide position out on the left and terrorising the 18-year-old full-back Thomas Edwards, who was handed a tough task by Mark Hughes and struggled. Encouragingly for Spurs both Dele Alli and Christian Eriksen — who scored the fifth — also impressed, as Spurs reverted to the 4-2-3-1 formation which served Mauricio so well in the first stage of his tenure.
