Tottenham Hotspur icon Ray Clemence has applauded Harry Kane for his magnificent assist to set up Dele Alli for Spurs’ second goal, as the north Londoners earned a 2-0 win over Swansea City.

Mauricio Pochettino’s men climbed to fifth in the Premier League table over rivals Arsenal with a somewhat comfortable win, which saw Fernando Llorente net against his former side before Alli doubled Spurs’ lead.

Spaniard Llorente headed home his first Premier League goal for Spurs against former side Swansea, before Alli latched on to a superb long ball from substitute Kane to bundle the ball home at the second attempt.

Clemence reacted to the result on Twitter, praising for Spurs for earning three points in “very difficult conditions” before lauding 24-year-old Kane for his assist by posing “what a pass”.

The win, Spurs’ fifth in six Premier League games, sees Pochettino’s side climb into fifth position above north London rivals Arsenal with the Gunners going up against Chelsea on Wednesday night at the Emirates Stadium.

Harry Kane, Dele Alli and Christian Eriksen are all likely to be included in a side that must recover quickly ahead of Thursday night’s clash against enemies West Ham at Wembley, before facing Wimbledon in the FA Cup on Sunday.
