Tottenham beat Cardiff as Harry Kane scores again
Relive all the action from the Cardiff City Stadium
Harry Kane ended his Cardiff hoodoo as Tottenham stayed in the Premier League title picture with a 3-0 win in the Welsh capital.
Kane had previously scored at least once against 27 of the 28 Premier League opponents he had faced, with Cardiff the solitary team he had failed to net against in three previous encounters.
But Kane needed only two and a half minutes to put that record straight on New Year's Day, and further goals from Christian Eriksen and Son Heung-min provided a swift panacea to the pain of losing 3-1 at home to Wolves on Saturday.

Player to watch…
Harry Kane: After a slower start to the season, the England international is beginning to find his form and, as a result, the back of the net. He’s scored four goals in his last three matches and can be lethal if the players surrounding him can provide good service. With Kane being one of the best strikers in the world, the Cardiff defence are going to need to be on their A-game.

Cardiff City: WDLLWL
Tottenham: LWWWWW
Odds…
Cardiff to win: 6/1
Tottenham to win: 12/25
Draw: 17/5
Prediction…
Cardiff City 0-2 Tottenham: Similarly to Arsenal, it’s likely that Tottenham will come out quick from the blocks, looking to put right what went so badly wrong at the weekend. Both Kane and Son Heung-min are on top form and I feel Tottenham will be relatively comfortable in this one.
That's all from us here tonight. 2019 is underway, and the New Year has begun well for Leicester, Arsenal and Tottenham, all of whom secured wins on an entertaining day of Premier League football. The Independent will have analysis and reaction from all of today's games, and much, much more over the coming days.
