Cardiff vs Tottenham LIVE: Premier League football as it happened - Spurs win 3-0

Cardiff City 0-3 Tottenham
Premier League 2018/19
Venue: Cardiff City Stadium

Tottenham climbed back into second place in the Premier League table with an easy 3-0 win over Cardiff.

First-half goals from Harry Kane, Christian Eriksen and Heung-min Son set Spurs on their way to their 10th away victory of the season.

Mauricio Pochettino was keen for his side to bounce back after the shock 3-1 home defeat to Wolves at the weekend and it didn't take long for a response.

Just three minutes into the game, Kieran Trippier whipped in a dangerous cross which Cardiff failed to clear and there was Kane to bundle it home, albeit somewhat fortuitously.

But there was nothing lucky about the second goal just nine minutes later. Son found Eriksen on the edge the box and being allowed the freedom of the city, Eriksen coolly slotted into the far corner.

It was game, set and match before the half-hour mark when Kane threaded a pass through to Son, and with a clever turn he found the far corner.
