Goal heroes Kane and Alli promise no let-up in Tottenham’s Premier League title pursuit

Tottenham Hotspur stars Harry Kane and Dele Alli promised to keep pushing leaders Leicester City all the way in the race for the Premier League title after sharing the goals in a 4-0 rout of Stoke City on Monday.

The England duo scored two apiece as Spurs recorded a hugely impressive away win that saw the north London club move to within five points of leaders Leicester with four games of the season remaining.

Performing well at Stoke’s Britannia Stadium has long been regarded as the acid test of a title-contender’s credentials, and on this evidence Spurs remain very much in the hunt to be crowned champions of England for the first time since 1961, when they did the ‘Double’ by winning the old First Division and the FA Cup in the same season.

“What a performance!” Kane told Sky Sports after taking his tally for the season to 26 goals in all competitions.

“Stoke is a tough place to come and to win in the manner we did shows what sort of team we are. We are not going anywhere,” he added.

“We scored four but could have had six or seven. It is one of our best performances all season but that’s what we can do.”
