Burnley 0 Tottenham 3 match highlights: Harry Kane’s hat-trick makes history as Spurs return to winning ways

HARRY KANE stole the show with a hat-trick as Tottenham thumped Burnley 3-0.

The England ace has now levelled Alan Shearer's record of 36 Premier League goals in a single calendar year.

And Dele Alli was at the centre of a new diving storm.

His actions after he went down under challenge from Burnley defender Kevin Long could well go under the FA microscope.

The Tottenham star had already been booked for a wild challenge on Charlie Taylor – one that could easily have seen him red carded.

But referee Michael Oliver showed lenience for the third minute tackle.

Three minutes later with the ball already well on its way out for a goal kick Long made the slightest of connections at hip level on Alli.

The attacker already appeared to be falling when Long, his arms in the air, made his attempt to ensure there would be no danger.

Alli tumbled but as the crowd cried for him to be given a second yellow referee Oliver immediately pointed to the spot with Clarets boss Sean Dyche raging on the touchline.

Kane sent the penalty into the back of the net, as keeper Nick Pope dived the wrong way.

The Clarets struggled to make any clear-cut opportunities in the first-half, with Spurs entering the break with a one goal advantage.

Serge Aurier missed a sitter for the visitors in the second half, with his close range shot flying way over the woodwork.

Kane bagged his second in the 69th minute after the Burnley defence fell short and he slipped the ball into the back of the net.

He went on to score his third with a sublime left-footed strike that flew past the helpless hands of Pope.
