Tottenham goalscorer Harry Kane: "We wanted to come out the blocks flying and there's no better way to do that than get an early goal. We grew into the game and got better and better. It was a solid 3-0 victory.

"We scored early which helped but I think we are a calm team anyway, that's the way we always play press high and keep the ball. At half-time we said we didn't want to take our foot off the pedal and the early goal in the second half helped with that.

"I'd rather have the five-point lead but with Leicester usually playing first we know what we have to do and there's still a lot of points up for grabs. The international break has not come at a good time, we would like to carry on playing, but it might give us a breather [from the league] and focus on it when we get back to get as many points as we can."
