Tottenham pile pressure on Arsenal in top four race as Heung-min Son stars and Harry Kane continues incredible record against Leicester

Tottenham climbed back into fourth place thanks to a 3-1 win over Leicester on Sunday.

Spurs piled on the pressure over rivals Arsenal to move above them by one point, but have the chance to reply against West Ham at 4.30pm.

Kane has 19 goals in all competitions against Leicester in just 18 appearances

It was the usual suspects who made the telling impact for Antonio Conte’s side at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as Heung-min Son netted twice and Harry Kane was also on the scoresheet.

After surviving a scare when Patson Daka hit the post, Spurs took a 22nd-minute lead and never looked back.

Kane powered home a header from Son, combining for the 41st time, corner to bag a 19th goal in 18 games against Leicester – his favourite team to play against.

Seventeen of those have been in the Premier League with only Alan Shearer’s record of 20 against Leeds better against an individual side.

Spurs grabbed a crucial second goal on the hour mark to give them a cushion and deter any hopes of the Foxes getting back into the match.

Cristian Romero won a crunching tackle on Caglar Soyuncu, setting Dejan Kulusevski free and he squared to Son, who fired into the bottom corner.

The South Korea international saved the best until last, though, as he put the game out of sight with 11 minutes to go.

Kulusevski passed to Son and with acres of space at the edge of the box curled his shot into the top corner.

Kelechi Iheanacho grabbed a consolation in added time, but the game was already wrapped up.

The deadly duo of Kane and Son struck again

It was an impressive performance by Conte’s side and now all eyes will be on the match at the London Stadium between West Ham and Arsenal.

It is looking increasingly likely that the north London derby on May 12 will be the decisive fixture to decide who gets that final Champions League place.
