So much for a goal drought.

Tottenham cruised to an impressive victory over West Ham, with Harry Kane scoring two of his side’s four goals.
“The performance matches the result to be fair”, he told BBC Sport.
Defensive errors continually put Slaven Bilic’s side in trouble at White Hart Lane and, now sitting sixth, they will need to rediscover their resilience if they are to remain in the European places.
Spurs have the second-best defence in the division, but the Hammers will test them more than most.
“We just need to stay strong and focused all the time instead of thinking about where we can end up”.
The statement from the Metropolitan police read: “Police are called at approximately 15:00hrs on Sunday, 22 November, to reports of a stabbing in White Hart Lane at the junction with Tottenham High Road”.
Harry Kane has now scored 8 goals in his last 5 games and with the brace against West Ham confirmed that the heroics of last season were not a blimp on the radar but a sign of things to come.
“We are the youngest team in the Premier League but it is not about your age but belief”.
“We share the same philosophy and are convinced the way we play is the best in the world”.
“This is the best team I’ve played in since I’ve been at Tottenham”, he said. It was good direct play from Heung-Min Son down the right flank and he played it inside to Delle Alli who squeezed it through to Kane, who brilliantly turned his man before firing into the roof of the net left footed.
10 minutes later, the Lilywhites doubled their lead when Toby Alderweireld headed home from a corner.
“We know we have a lot of quality and we’re closer than previous years”. The reluctant recipient of a throw from Adrian, Tomkins passed the ball straight to Eriksen, who moved it on to Kane, and the England striker drove a low strike through Adrian from outside the box.
The 22-year-old skillfully manoeuvred the ball out of his feet and fired a powerful effort on the turn under the body of Adrian.
Tottenham have won six, drawn six and lost one of their Premier League games this season. Chelsea, next up for Spurs in the league, be warned. “It can’t be up to one player to have such a difference in performances from two weeks ago to now”.
