The game was Bradley’s heaviest defeat since becoming manager of Swansea as Spurs made it five in injury-time when Eriksen found the back of the net for the second time.

Craig Burley praises Tottenham’s response vs. Swansea, while Bob Bradley is in desperate need of a win.
The Argentine manager was also delighted with the performance of Dele Alli who was involved in four goals but also in a controversial moment as he went down easily following a challenge by Kyle Naughton for the 39th-minute penalty opener that Kane converted.
Tottenham have the joint-top defensive unit in the league, conceding a mere 10 goals in 13 Premier League games.
Son Heung-Min scored an acrobatic second in first-half stoppage-time before Kane added a third and Christian Eriksen wrapped up an emphatic victory with two goals.
His decision came just 24 hours after Kane signed on with Spurs until 2022 and Vertonghen said: “This is an unbelievable group of talented guys and I feel privileged to be a part of that”. I suspect someone probably took Poche aside and suggested that he might have been a little hard on Moussa, or maybe Pochettino saw the media furor that erupted over his comments and realized that maybe he shouldn’t have been so publicly forthright with the media about one of his current players. “We told [Naughton] right away that it was a wrong decision and to put it behind him”.
The visitors managed one shot on goal throughout the entire match- a header from Jay Fulton which sailed way wide of the target.
The home game against Sunderland on Saturday appears particularly crucial, given the Black Cats also sit in the relegation zone and only two points ahead of the Swans.
“I haven’t seen a good enough replay (to say whether he dived)”.
Tottenham Hotspur host Swansea today, hoping Harry Kane can celebrate signing a new contract by continuing his hot scoring streak and helping them get their season firing again. We knew coming here today was going to be particularly hard.
“We’re three points behind second place after today, we’ve got to use that as a positive over the next couple of months as we are looking to build on results, get a good run together and hopefully push us up the league, so we can start fighting for the title”.
“I had a couple of chances towards the end where the keeper pulled off a good save and then a couple of exhausted finishes, you could say, but I’m happy with the two goals and the most important thing is the three points”. It goes entirely against my Spurs DNA to make this sort of proclamation publicly, but here we are.

But Son said: “Of course we want to play in the Europa League – we’re out of the Champions League so we want to be in it”.
