Tottenham 5 Swansea City 0: Kane celebrates new deal with brace

Harry Kane celebrated his new Tottenham contract in style as he scored twice in an easy 5-0 win over Premier League strugglers Swansea City on Saturday.

The striker put pen to paper on a deal that will keep him at Spurs until 2022 on Thursday and capped off a fine week with a demonstration of his goalscoring prowess at White Hart Lane.

That brace was sandwiched by Son Heung-min's superb bicycle-kick volley and Christian Eriksen added a double of his own to complete the rout.

The victory represents just Spurs' second win from their last 11 games in all competitions and keeps Mauricio Pochettino's men within seven points of leaders Chelsea in fifth place.

Tottenham were in control right from the off and their first genuine chance came after 20 minutes, Kane forcing Swansea goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski into a strong save with a powerful header towards the top-right corner from Kyle Walker's right-wing cross.

The hosts' pressure eventually paid off in the 39th minute when Kane converted a somewhat controversial penalty.

Spurs immediately started pushing for more and Son doubled their lead in the 45th minute with an acrobatic finish, volleying past the helpless Fabianski at the near post after Eriksen's shot was deflected into his path.

Swansea struggled to get out of their own half and Kane compounded the Welsh side's misery with his second after the restart.

Son selflessly left the ball to last season's top scorer after a quick counter-attack and Kane had little trouble powering past Fabianski from the centre of the box.

Walker, Wanyama and Kane all saw opportunities to add a fifth go begging, but it was Eriksen who had the final say well into stoppage time, beating Fabianski with a low shot into the bottom-right corner.
