Tottenham Hotspur continued to mount pressure on Premier League leaders Chelsea, as they thrashed Bournemouth 4-0 at White Hart Lane on Saturday.
Tottenham continued to take the fight to Chelsea for the Premier League title following a dominant 4-0 trouncing of Bournemouth on Saturday. In what was a largely comfortable afternoon for the North London side, they made it seven consecutive league wins for the first time since 1967.
Tottenham were sent on course to clinching the three points midway through the first half, as Mousa Dembele and Son Heung-min scored within three minutes of each other before Harry Kane tripled the advantage just a couple of minutes into the second half.
The game was then put to bed in its dying stages as Vincent Janssen scored only his second Premier League goal of the season to send Tottenham just 4 points behind Chelsea. Here are the best tweets in the aftermath of the dominating win for Mauricio Pochettino’s men.

Harry Kane was the toast of the town following a fruitful scoring return to the starting eleven:
Harry Kane is only the fourth player in Premier League history to score 20+ goals in 3 consecutive seasons.
Ridiculous for a 23-year-old. ? pic.twitter.com/1geQDwjr5q

12 – Harry Kane needs to score 20+ goals in 12 consecutive seasons before people stop saying he’s a one season wonder. Form.
