Tottenham striker Harry Kane finished off a special week in style by scoring a brace in Spurs' 5-0 victory over Swansea at White Hart Lane.

Kane, who signed a new five-and-a half year deal on Thursday, put the hosts ahead after they were awarded a soft penalty when Kyle Naughton brought down Dele Alli in the area.

Swansea never found themselves in the game and Spurs doubled their lead just before halftime through an impressive strike by Son Heung-min.

Kane netted his second of the game just four minutes after the restart with a powerful finish and they put the game to bed with 20 minutes to go through a Christian Eriksen header. Eriksen added his second, and Tottenham's fifth, in injury time.

Spurs, who had only won one of their last 10 games, dominated a Swansea side struggling in the relegation zone and went close to taking the lead on 20 minutes but Kane's header was pushed over the bar.

The visitors failed to have a single shot in the first half but it looked as though they had done enough to reach halftime on level terms until the 38th minute.

Referee Jonathan Moss awarded the hosts a penalty after it was deemed Naughton had tripped Alli in the box. Alli nicked the ball ahead of Naughton but even if there was contact, it certainly was not enough to prompt the midfielder's theatrical tumble.

Kane did the honours and sent goalkeeper Fabianski the wrong way to give Tottenham a well-deserved lead.

Just as the fourth official was putting the board up for injury time, the home side doubled their advantage through Son, who hit the ball on a half-volley to score his sixth goal of the season.

Kane appeared to have secured a hat-trick just after the hour-mark but his goal was disallowed by the assistant referee who flagged correctly for offside.

With 20 minutes left Tottenham buried the game through Eriksen as Fabianski saved Alli's shot with his foot and the Spurs midfielder beat Jordi Amat to the ball to head it into an open net.

The result means Swansea drop to the bottom of the Premier League table.
