Harry Kane scored a hat-trick as Tottenham maintained their 100% start in the Champions League with victory over Apoel Nicosia.
Kane – who also scored twice in Spurs’ opening win over Borussia Dortmund – put Spurs ahead in the 39th minute, slotting into the bottom-left corner from Toby Alderweireld’s pass.
The England striker then calmly stroked in Moussa Sissoko’s cross from the edge of the penalty area in the 62nd minute to double Spurs’ lead.
He completed his hat-trick five minutes later with a header into the bottom corner.
Kane’s three goals were Spurs first three shots on target in the match, and Mauricio Pochettino’s side had earlier rode their luck at times.
Apoel hit the crossbar through Igor de Camargo’s fierce shot in the 19th minute, while Hugo Lloris was forced into two smart saves after the break with the score 1-0.
But Kane’s clinical performance was the difference and he has now scored six hat-tricks in 2017 and five goals in the Champions League this season.
The win takes Tottenham level on points with Real Madrid at the top of Group H and importantly six points clear of Borussia Dortmund who lost at home against Real.
Who was your man of match??
