England striker Harry Kane scored twice as Tottenham brushed aside London rivals West Ham in a 4-1 victory at White Hart Lane in the Premier League on Sunday.
The result was never in doubt once Kane opened the scoring in the 23rd minute, with the forward spinning past Carl Jenkinson to shoot from inside the box.
Spurs defender Toby Alderweireld was unmarked when he doubled the lead in the 33rd, nodding in a Christian Eriksen corner.

Tottenham 4 West Ham 1 player ratings Kyle Walker 8 out of 10 After a difficult start against Victor Moses, he quickly came out on top and was a very useful attacking threat, as he showed with the fourth goal. Booked.
Tottenham 4 West Ham 1 player ratings Toby Alderweireld 8 out of 10 Solid as ever at the back and scored the second goal with a header from a corner after a clever run to the near post.
Tottenham 4 West Ham 1 player ratings Jan Vertonghen 7 out of 10 Like Lloris, the centre-back had a relatively simple afternoon. Kept Carroll quiet with dealt easily with what little danger West Ham caused.

Tottenham 4 West Ham 1 player ratings Danny Rose 6 out of 10 Not always precise, but always committed, in both attack and defence on the left flank. Rose is slowly recapturing his best form.
Tottenham 4 West Ham 1 player ratings Eric Dier 7 out of 10 A calming presence in the centre, his job is to move the ball on swiftly to his attacking players, which he does effectively.

Tottenham 4 West Ham 1 player ratings Mousa Dembele 8 Deployed deeper in midfield rather than in the No 10 role, the Belgian maintained his recent form with another fine game in both disciplines.

Tottenham 4 West Ham 1 player ratings Heung-Min Son 6 out of 10 Making his first start for nearly two months after injury, the South Korean kept Hammers left-back Aaron Cresswell honest throughout.

Tottenham 4 West Ham 1 player ratings Dele Alli 7 out of 10 Pushed further forward into the No10 role, he was involved in the majority of his team’s attacks, though needed to be calmed by his manager after a needless spat with Mark Noble. Booked.

Tottenham 4 West Ham 1 player ratings Christian Eriksen 7 out of 10 Starts on the left flank but usually drifts inside where he helps link the play with clever passing and movement. Created the second and third goals.

Tottenham 4 West Ham 1 player ratings Harry Kane 8 out of 10 Two goals – eight in five games now – one missed chance and lots of clever, unselfish work throughout the game from Spurs’ star man.

Tottenham 4 West Ham 1 player ratings Carl Jenkinson 5 out of 10 Allowed Kane to turn far too easily in the penalty area for Tottenham’s opener and struggled to contain Rose and Eriksen.

Tottenham 4 West Ham 1 player ratings James Tomkins 4 out of 10 Shaky display was summed up when, under no pressure, he gifted possession to Eriksen, who set up Kane for Tottenham’s third goal.

Tottenham 4 West Ham 1 player ratings Winston Reid 5 out of 10 A tough day for the New Zealander, who lost Alderweireld for Spurs’ second and was too often caught out of position.
Tottenham 4 West Ham 1 player ratings Aaron Cresswell 5 out of 10 At his best, he is an effective attacker from left-back but Walker and Son ensured he spent most of the afternoon in his own half.
Tottenham 4 West Ham 1 player ratings Cheikhou Kouyate 6 out of 10 Hit the bar with an overhead kick in the first half that would have made it 1-1 and was one of his team’s better performers on a day to forget.

Tottenham 4 West Ham 1 player ratings Mark Noble 6 out of 10 Showed his customary energy and dedication in midfield but once Tottenham scored their first, West Ham’s gameplan went out of the window. Booked.

Tottenham 4 West Ham 1 player ratings Diafra Sakho 6 out of 10 Worked as hard as anyone but he would surely be more useful to his team through the middle, rather than on the flanks. Booked.
Tottenham 4 West Ham 1 player ratings Manuel Lanzini 6 out of 10 Required to provide the creative spark in Dimitri Payet’s absence, the Argentine was deployed in a midfield three and scored a cracking goal – when it was far too late.

Tottenham 4 West Ham 1 player ratings Victor Moses 5 out of 10 Made a very bright start and caused Walker problems, but faded quickly thereafter as Walker and Son gained the upper hand. Substituted along with Carroll.

Tottenham 4 West Ham 1 player ratings Andy Carroll 5 out of 10 Well policed by Alderweireld and Vertonghen throughout, the centre-forward received little service from the flanks and was subbed just after the hour mark.
Kane screwed the ball horribly wide with only goalkeeper Adrian to beat before halftime, but made amends in the 50th minute, drilling home following calamitous West Ham defending.
Defender Kyle Walker sealed the win with a shot in the 83rd minute, although Manuel Lanzini claimed a consolation goal for the visitors in the 87th.
