0 ................... TOWN evident as Town lose

alty moments later when Kongolo brought down Son in the area.

The Dutch defender slid to block the South Korean’s effort at goal, but was sold a dummy, allowing the first goalscorer another sight at goal.

Kongolo went to block Son’s impending strike with his head, but looked to grab the winger in the box – but stand-in referee Kevin Friend waved away the appeals.

Town grew in confidence after the spot-kick scare, with Tom Ince bringing a good save from Hugo Lloris after being released up field by an inch-perfect through ball from Mathias Jorgensen.

But just as the Terriers looked to have found a foothold, Spurs - and Son - struck for a second time.

A wonderful Kane cross from the right wing found the winger unmarked in the area and the former Bayer Leverkusen man converted his second of the afternoon with his head to put the match beyond the reach of Town.

Tottenham searched for a third and had the ball in the Town net thanks to Jan Vertonghen, but Laurent Depoitre’s international colleague was adjudged to be offside.

Kane also went close in the final 10 minutes, but couldn’t add a 25th goal to his tally this season.

The defeat takes Town to 15th in the Premier League table, with Wagner’s men still three points clear of the dreaded relegation zone.

All of the West Yorkshire side’s focus will now switch to the Swansea City match at the John Smith’s Stadium next weekend, with the outcome of that likely to have huge implications for both clubs in the relegation run-in.
