Harry Kane netted his first Tottenham goal in over 640 minutes of football as he helped Tottenham come from behind to beat Premier League leaders Manchester City 4-1 at White Hart Lane.
City left Joe Hart on the bench, replacing their No. 1 goalkeeper with Willy Caballero, and captain Vincent Kompany was not fit enough for the XI either.
However, City started the brighter and forced Hugo Lloris into a couple of saves before Kevin De Bruyne broke free and hammered a low shot home to give them the lead, despite a questionable offside call.
Shortly before half-time, Eric Dier capitalised on De Bruyne's misplaced pass to strike a powerful equaliser from 30 yards then, just after the break, Caballero was left nowhere as Toby Alderweireld headed home from a corner.
Ten minutes later, Kane pounced as Christian Eriksen's free kick clattered off the post to beat Caballero and make it 3-1, despite being seemingly offside. Son Heung-Min then poked the ball into the net again, but had it ruled out correctly for offside.
With just over 10 minutes left to go, Clinton Njie slotted the ball through for Erik Lamela and the Argentine took it past Caballero to slot home to complete the rout.
