NORWICH boss Alex Neil tipped Spurs as potential champions – and they showed just why his prediction may be spot-on.
GOAL: Harry Kane
Unbeaten in 10 away matches since losing at Manchester United on the opening day, Tottenham steamrollered the opposition yet again.
Harry Kane scored twice after it took Mauricio Pochettino’s high-fliers just 95 seconds to open up struggling Norwich.
Spurs forced a first-minute corner which the Canaries only half-cleared and, when keeper Declan Rudd pushed out Christian Eriksen’s shot, England wonder kid Dele Alli calmly slotted in the rebound from six yards.

OPENER: Dele Alli
Linking up superbly with Eriksen, Son and Alli in particular, he constantly kept the creaking Canary back four at full stretch.
The only surprise was that it took him until the half-hour to find the back of the net when he fired his 17th goal of the season from the penalty spot.
He set it up himself, turning superbly past Timm Klose and hammering in a shot that Rudd again could only parry
Alli latched onto the loose ball and when former Spurs centre-back Seb Bassong sent him tumbling ref Kevin Friend harshly pointed to the spot.
Kane converted his fifth penalty of the season and it was one-way traffic with Norwich looking like rabbits caught in the headlights.
The England striker had the final word in the 90th minute when Eriksen robbed Martin Olsson and sent him clear to finish beautifully.
