Tottenham Hotspur kept their Premier League title hopes alive after thrashing Manchester United 3-0 at White Hart Lane this afternoon.
The hosts had the better of the first half chances but were wasteful in front of goal while David De Gea also did his bit to ensure as they went in to the half-time interval at 0-0.
However, Spurs eventually broke the deadlock in the 70th minute when Christian Eriksen found Dele Alli unmarked in the area and the midfielder made no mistake to make it 1-0 from close range.
Tottenham doubled their advantage in the 74th minute when Toby Alderweireld headed home an Erik Lamela free-kick before the Argentinean international swept home the third just two minutes later as Spurs netted three times during a crazy six minute spell.
The result sees Tottenham close the gap on leaders Leicester to seven points with just five games left to play while United remain fifth and four points adrift of the top four.
