  2. Harry Kane - from Norwich nightmare to Spurs starpublished at 19:38 Greenwich Mean Time 1 January 2015

    Here's an interesting thought on Harry Kane from Norwich winger Elliott Bennett,, external currently on loan at Brighton:

    "Harry Kane is great example of patience and self belief. Came to Norwich and didn't play, got his head down at Spurs is and now getting rewards."

    Kane spent the first half of the 2012-13 season on loan at Carrow Road, but played just six times before he was recalled.

    Tottenham defender Danny Rose: "We went 4-1 up and the second goal we conceded was very sloppy from ourselves. We are getting there slowly. We are understanding the manager's ways and hopefully we can push on now. We have had a good Christmas period. The top four is the target is every season and we just take each game as it comes."

    Tottenham striker Harry Kane: "It shows how good we are. To score five against one of the best defences in the world shows how we're coming together as a team. It was a great win. We are probably unhappy we conceded the two extra goals but we are delighted with the win.

    "I am just enjoying playing. Hopefully I can keep it up but the most important thing is the team winning."

    Perhaps the most eye-catching thing about this game - other than the result - is how much Harry Kane dominated Gary Cahill. It's been a long time since England's now senior centre-back spent 90 minutes chasing shadows. He just couldn't get near the 21-year-old.

    "Tottenham showed everybody tonight how to play against Chelsea. I think Chelsea can justifiably say they've played a lot of games in recent weeks, and it caught up with them. This was a free hit for Tottenham tonight.

    "The game turned when Harry Kane equalised. Spurs thought: 'If we can keep going at this Chelsea defence, it could be our night.' I never thought I'd see this result in a million years. But Chelsea will get this out of their system against Watford in the FA Cup on Sunday. I fear for Watford, actually."

    Chris Baldwin:, external Best Spurs performance of the season? This is the best performance since Harry Redknapp left. They've bullied Chelsea today.

    Tim Arstall:, external No doubt Kane has been outstanding today, but is he really world class? Remains to be seen for me...

    Deano:, external I hope people aren't reading too much into this result for Spurs. Before today, they've been consistently lucky for a while.

    So, how does the league table look after that? Well, Manchester City and Chelsea are joint top. They cannot be separated by anything other than alphabetical order and, were the season to finish now, they would have to go to a play-off at a neutral venue. Imagine that. Tottenham are up to fifth, above Arsenal.

    "White Hart Lane is a fantastic stadium when you get these games. It's been an absolutely brilliant atmosphere.

    "A wonderful performance from Tottenham. It was the right system and the right shape. It's taken Mauricio Pochettino an awful long time to get there, but it made the difference tonight. The Premier League title race is on."

    Andrew in Bessbrook: What a crazy game of football! Spurs have these games every now and again when they are absolutely unplayable. Chelsea and Mourinho are shellshocked!

    Andrew, Richhill: With Wayne Rooney no longer playing up front for Manchester United week-in, week-out does Harry Kane now replace him in the England starting line-up?

    James, a Chelsea fan: I have an exam on the 14th. I'm genuinely worried I won't sleep before then.

    "Just remind me what I said the score might be at half-time. 8-7? There's still time for Chelsea to get back into this game, particularly if they get a fourth quickly."
