Harry Kane bagged four goals to take him to the top of the Premier League scoring charts as Tottenham thrashed Leicester 6-1.
Tottenham took the lead midway through the first half through the England striker, sweeping home inside the box after Heung-Min Son's cross.
Son then added a second on 36 minutes, finishing on the volley from 15 yards after Dele Alli's delightful scooped assist, before Ben Chilwell made it 2-1 following some questionable goalkeeping by Hugo Lloris after the break.
Kane scored his second of the game, heading in from close range on 63 minutes, and Son made it four with 20 minutes remaining, finishing well into the bottom corner from 20 yards after Kane had fed him.
But Kane had the last say once again, firing home from 20 yards late on for 5-1, before adding a fourth with another low effort from the edge of the box past Kasper Schmeichel, taking his tally to 26 for the season, two ahead of Everton's Romelu Lukaku in the Premier League scoring charts.
Mauricio Pochettino put out a strong Tottenham side despite having second place already secured, and though they had much of the play early on, the first chance fell to Leicester.
Jamie Vardy forced Hugo Lloris into a good save after Riyad Mahrez slipped him through on goal on 10 minutes, but it was one-way traffic thereafter.
