Kane proves he is able as Spurs put Stoke to the sword

-

TOTTENHAM ran riot at Stoke City as Harry Kane ended his goal drought in a 4-0 win.

The England striker had not scored in his previous nine games for club and country after a poor Euro 2016 but he wrapped up Spurs’ victory at the Britannia Stadium.

Son Heung-min’s brace put the visitors 2-0 ahead before Dele Alli scored his first goal of the season after the break and Kane opened his account.

Stoke boss Mark Hughes, who gave on-loan Manchester City striker Wilfried Bony his debut, was also sent to the stands in the first half.

Watford hit back from 2-0 down to clinch a stunning 4-2 win at West Ham to seal their first victory of the season.

Odion Ighalo, Troy Deeney, Etienne Capoue and Jose Holebas scored as the visitors recorded their first league victory under Walter Mazzarri, who was appointed in the summer.

The Hammers were 2-0 up after 33 minutes following two Michail Antonio goals but Watford were level by half time when Ighalo and Deeney pounced.

Capoue put them ahead eight minutes after the break and Holebas fired in after an error from West Ham goalkeeper Adrian.

Santi Cazorla’s injury-time penalty earned Arsenal a last-gasp 2-1 win over Southampto­n as new signing Lucas Perez struggled on his Premier League debut.

Petr Cech was credited with an own goal after Dusan Tadic’s free-kick hit the bar and then the goalkeeper to give Saints the lead at the Emirates but Laurent Koscielny’s fantastic overhead kick made it all square.

New £17million striker Perez, who joined from Deportivo La Coruna, made little impact and was substitute­d in the second half but Olivier Giroud was fouled by Jose Fonte in injury time and Cazorla won it from the spot.

Christian Benteke opened his account for Crystal Palace as they sealed a 2-1 win at Middlesbro­ugh, whose unbeaten start to the season was ended in the process.

The striker, who joined from Liverpool in the summer, headed the opener before Wilfried Zaha struck his first Premier League goal in 10 months to win it for the Eagles.

Daniel Ayala had pegged the visitors back in the first half at the Riverside but George Friend’s mistake allowed Zaha to score just after the re-start.

Jack Wilshere made his Bournemout­h debut and helped the Cherries to a 1-0 win over West Bromwich Albion.

Callum Wilson grabbed the winner with 11 minutes left, after Arsenal loanee Wilshere had come off the bench, to secure three points for the hosts.

At Burnley, Scotland internatio­nal Robert Snodgrass’s injury-time equaliser snatched a point for Hull City as they drew 1-1 at Burnley.

Steven Defour had opened the scoring with 18 minutes left but the Tigers struck late on at Turf Moor.
