Tottenham were the better side in the first half and struck before half time as Dele Alli headed Christian Eriksen’s cross into the top corner of the net, and the same combination struck again after the break as Alli met another Eriksen cross, heading past Thibaut Courtois to make it 2-0.
With a strong defensive display, a dominant midfield and a dangerous attack, Tottenham served up the complete performance against their London rivals, and moved up into third place, above Arsenal and Manchester City.
