Harry Kane dealt a major blow to Leicester’s hopes of qualifying for the Champions League on Sunday as the Tottenham striker scored twice in a 3-0 win that boosted his side’s bid to reach the Europa League.
Tottenham took the lead through James Justin’s early own goal before Kane took centre stage with two superb finishes before half-time.
It could be a hammer blow to fourth-placed Leicester’s Champions League dreams.
They are ahead of fifth-placed Manchester United only on goals scored and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side has played a game less than Leicester.
United return to league action against West Ham on Wednesday before a decisive showdown against Leicester at the King Power Stadium on the last day of the season next Sunday.
Chelsea, who have two games left against Liverpool and Wolves, remain one point above Leicester in third.
Brendan Rodgers’ side has won just two of their eight league games since the coronavirus hiatus, potentially squandering a golden opportunity to return to the Champions League for the first time since 2016-17. (Reuters)
