Match Events

25' GOAL! Huddersfield 0-1 Tottenham (Kane)

Lucas advances into the area but is forced out wide and ends up laying the ball back to Trippier for the cross. His delivery into the box is inch-perfect and Kane rises to head it home brilliantly to put Spurs in front.

34' Penalty Goal! Huddersfield 0-2 Tottenham (Kane)

Kane steps up and sends Lossl the wrong way with a thumping penalty that nestles in the side netting to the keeper's left. Clinical penalty and Spurs are two goals to the good.

50' CHANCE! Lucas' shot saved by Lossl

Kane links up with Son down the left and the South Korean picks out Lucas inside the area. Lowe gets a touch on the ball to force Lucas wide and he stumbles before getting an improvised shot off but Lossl makes the save.

71' CLOSE! Lowe's free kick wide of the post

Lowe has a free-kick and he gets it up and over the wall but it drifts just wide of the post. In fairness, Gazzaniga had it covered and would have saved it had it dropped on target. Decent effort nonetheless.

78' CLOSE! Mbenza's shot saved

Hadergjonaj advances down the right and plays an intelligent cut-back to Mbenza on the edge of the box and his effort destined for the top corner is well clawed out by Gazzaniga.

Match Report

Huddersfield are bottom of the table with David Wagner's men still waiting for their first home league goal of the season, while Spurs move up to fourth.

Kane charged through on goal for the game's first big chance in the 10th minute, but Jonas Lossl was quickly off his line to smother the England captain's attempted chip.

Huddersfield were regularly exposed by long balls from the back and another led to the opening goal, Kane profiting with a header after Lucas Moura fed Kieran Trippier to cross.

Tottenham goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga had to make a fine save low to his left to push away a long-range Chris Lowe drive that swerved dramatically, but Spurs quickly doubled their lead.

Danny Rose went down under a challenge from Florent Hadergjonaj and Kane duly sent Lossl the wrong way from the penalty spot, with Laurent Depoitre unlucky to see a superb volley crash back off the crossbar as Huddersfield sought a response before the break.

Pochettino withdrew Jan Vertonghen and Mousa Dembele at half-time, with an eye on Barca, and Lucas had Spurs' best chance to extend their lead, the Brazilian blazing over the crossbar in the 64th minute.
