For the second successive season, Tottenham thrashed Stoke City 4-0 at the Britannia Stadium after an excellent away performance.
Heung-Min Son scored either side of half time: his first a left-footed finish from Christian Eriksen’s low cross; his second a wonderful curling effort.
Dele Alli grabbed a third for Spurs to rub salt into Stoke’s wounds before Harry Kane netted his first goal of the season with a close-range finish.

Eriksen main man today. Funny what a contract extension can do to ur confidence. Pleased with his performance, need him in the future.#THFC

FT: 0-4. 1st 10-15 mins aside, that was a powerful display from #thfc. Alli excellent; some of the football on the break was devastating.

50 premier league goals – worth noting that many have been scored in our biggest of games. Phenomenal @HKane #COYS pic.twitter.com/Nlq5bbgx0g

Much better from Spurs, signs of last-season’s rhythm and purpose. Stoke were awful, mind. Early days for both

Well that was all kinds of lovely. Spurs clicked into gear against a poor Stoke team. Good performances all round, and some lovely goals.

Son was a class above the rest today – the best I’ve seen of him at #thfc. Big season for him as I’ve said. He’s unplayable when in form.

It feels weird scoring this early in the @premierleague season! ?? #COYS #BPL

A great away win and performance today from the whole squad looked awesome at times breaking forward hard to pick a motm. I’ll go for all 14
C o y s
Spurs looking superb on the counter. It helped to score first because then, as the game progressed,
we looked like a well oiled machine. Great defence, sharp midfield and cutting edge up front (well done Son, and welcome back Harry). Games will be harder than this, but I believe our pressing game and fitness levels will put us on top in most of them ..and enable us to then take a ‘rest’ and let our talent take over on the counter. Great to hear our Glory song ..sang in that beautiful languid style of the old Glory days. ‘When the Spurs go marching oooonnnn’. Let’s hope we hear it many times more this season. We’re building up steam folks!! COYS
Been supporting the Spurs since I was a kid with our GREAT team of the early 90s-Gazza,Waddle,Hoddle etc what a fukn team! But this current team we have is definitely the BEST I have ever seen in terms of quality,ability,confidence and togetherness.Great times ahead to make up for all those HARD years of pain and trophy less seasons ?
