Harry Kane and Son Heung-min rediscovered their touch in front of goal as Tottenham beat Leicester to boost their hopes of a top-four Premier League finish.
Kane, who had not scored in his previous five Spurs games, headed in the opener from Son’s corner.
Son stroked in the second after being picked out by Dejan Kulusevski, then curled in a sensational third.
Leicester’s Kelechi Iheanacho scored a consolation with a crisp strike.
Spurs moved into fourth place at the expense of Arsenal, who play at West Ham later on Sunday.
