“We are not going anywhere”, Kane was quoted in a report from BBC.
“We’ve set our standards high this season and we’ve performed well”.
“He played very well – I think all the team did”, said the Argentine.
Kane put Spurs in front after just nine minutes, but the visitors had to wait until midway through the second half before Alli chipped home to put Tottenham in control. With more performances like that, I’m sure we’ll push them all the way.

Had it gone in, the midfielder would have had a hat-trick.
“You knew in your head how important it was to get that second goal and I wanted to scream and celebrate with the fans for a few moments before focusing again!”
Glenn Whelan played for 75 minutes and showed no ill effects after his back injury scare.
“All we can do it keep doing what we’re doing and keep winning games like we did tonight”, he is quoted by talkSPORT.
Tottenham produced an outstanding display to thrash Stoke and move five points behind leaders Leicester with four games of the season remaining.
“This is our dream”.
But on his reaction to Alli’s miss, Pochettino said: “I felt a little bit ashamed”. Maybe this is one of the performances that you feel most proud of because of the character to cope with the pressure.
“I think that it was fantastic”.
“We need to pick ourselves up and understand what you need to do”. We always seem the last to play, but we’re ready, we’re fit and we’re enjoying our football. “That puts the pressure on the other strikers”. “We won’t stop fighting until the end of the season”.
“It is a good thing because it shows how this group is, how our squad is”, said Pochettino.
“We showed what we are all about”, Alli said.
Harry Kane and Dele Alli scored two goals each, which cut the Foxes’ lead at the top of the table to five points with only four games left.

If Tottenham win all their games they will lift their first title since the 1960/61 season should Leicester fail to amass more than seven points from their remaining four games.
