Imperious doing what we have to do

SPURS 4 BOURNEMOUTH 0

Spurs go marching on. A 4-0 win means we are unbeaten in the last 16 home games which includes 12 home Premier League wins in a row. We are now 17 points ahead of Arsenal. We can do no more than win to keep any sort of pressure on Chelsea.

• White Hart Lane record W15 D2 GS 43 GA 8 PTS 47. The boys are really giving the old stadium a good send off.

Their game against a fired up Jose Mourinho's Manchester United is a big game for us, possibly the last chance to maintain any worthwhile pressure. We need a United victory to keep the gap to 4 points, then if Chelsea take a look over their shoulder there is a chance they may slip up.

There is a chance other teams will want us to win this year and put in a greater effort. Nobody gave Crystal Palace a chance so you never know what might happen.

• Spurs have now scored 22 home league goals and counting in 2017. Everton have the most 26 (only Barca have more in Europe's top 5 leagues).

Kane missed 410 minutes with his injury. During that time the team scored 17 goals.We didn't lose a game and we didn't lose a game in the earlier spell he missed either. Son Heung-min kept up his scoring and Dele Alli chipped in with an assist.

• Kane netted his 20th Premier League goal of the season to put Spurs 3-0 ahead after 48 mins. He joins three other players who have scored 20 or more goals in 3 consecutive Premier League seasons:

Harry Kane (Tottenham Hotspur)

Alan Shearer (Blackburn Rovers)

Thierry Henry (Arsenal)

Ruud van Nistelrooy (Manchester United)

Seven straight wins in a row, the side can do no ore. COYS
