A team does not necessarily need a title to show their class, although Tottenham Hotspur do crave one. Spurs demonstrated their excellence at the King Power by swatting aside last season’s champions with regal aplomb

[img width=118,height=118]http://www.authenticcapitalshop.com/images//nhl_jerseys_new/washington_capitals/capitals_223.jpg[/img] as the Premier League’s top scorer for the second season in a row. His tally for the campaign stands at 26, two more than Everton’s Romelu Lukaku with one round of matches to go. Spurs cannot catch Chelsea but they have no intention of stopping their glory hunt.Son Heung-min contributed to the rout here by scoring Tottenham’s other two goals. That amounted to six damaging blows to Craig Shakespeare’s prospects of landing the Leicester managerial job on a permanent basis. Ben Chilwell scored for the home team but that was no consolation to their caretaker manager. “There are no positives,” said Shakespeare. “We were totally second-best.”Shakespeare should not be judged too harshly on this performance, as the main cause of this thrashing was Tottenham’s exceptional slickness – and their encouraging bloodlust. Mauricio Pochettino had demanded his team maintain their high standards despite the title being beyond them. They had faded at a similar stage last season once Leicester got beyond their reach so the Argentinian wanted to see evidence of a positive evolution since then. His wish was granted, and this time Leicester were left looking like a rabble“Our attitude and internal motivation was good,” said Pochettino. “We have been talking a lot about why we finished so badly last season. This type of performance shows that the team is improving and has learned a lot from last season. This is fantastic.Leicester made the better start but began to tremble as soon as Spurs bared their teeth. That was the beginning of a nightmare for Yohan Benalouane, in particular, as the centre-back was made to look ditzy by Spurs’ artful

The striker threatened to open the scoring a couple of times before he eventually did so in the 25th minute.Toby Alderweireld exposed flat-footedness in Leicester’s rejigged defence by dropping a long pass over them from deep inside his own half. Christian Fuchs, a makeshift centre-back, failed to cut it out and Benalouane undermined the offside scheme. Son took advantage, scampering on to the ball before playing a square pass to Kane, who scored from close range.Spurs began to run amok. They increased their lead 11 minutes later with a sumptuous goal, an intricate move culminating with Dele Alli scooping the ball over the head of Benalouane before Son swept a volley into the net from 10 yards.At half-time Shakespeare had to find a way to stop the bleeding, at least. He introduced Islam Slimani for Shinji Okazaki and Leicester made a strong start to the second period. In the 59th minute their revolt gathered momentum when Chilwell scored with impressive composure. Hugo Lloris had rushed out of his box to intercept a pass to Jamie Vardy but Leicester kept possession and when the ball was played to Chilwell, the 20-year-old sidestepped a defender and stroked it into the net from 12 yards despite Eric Dier’s attempt to clear off the line.Belief in a home comeback lasted four minutes. That is how long it took
Authentic Goran Dragic Youth Jersey Spurs to re-establish their superiority. Alderweireld cantered down the right and floated a cross to the back post, where Victor Wanyama headed it back across to Kane, who nodded in from two yards. Eight minutes later Son struck again, ridiculing Wilfred Ndidi at the edge of the box before sweeping a low shot into the net. The uprising had been quashed with imperious style.Kane was not finished. He had his eyes on a personal prize as well as an emphatic team triumph. He rifled in a low 20-yard shot to complete his hat-trick, then fired in his fourth in time added on. That was the first four-goal haul of his career and he admitted he was driven by his pursuit of Lukaku at the top of the scoring charts.“I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t,” he said. “I was looking to take it into the last game, but now I’m in the driving seat. I’m not resting on my laurels, and I’ll go to Hull [on Sunday] looking to get four more hopefully.The England captain, Dylan Hartley, is in line for a call-up to the British & Irish Lions tour of New Zealand if Ken Owens fails to recover from an ankle injury.Owens sustained the injury

He has been ruled out of the Scarlets’ Pro12 semi-final against Leinster on Friday night and, should they win, also the final on 27 May.He was examined by the Lions medical team this week and if he is ruled unfit for two weeks or more, the Lions head coach, Warren Gatland, would have to decide whether to replace him, with the squad leaving for New Zealand on 29 May.Hartley missed out on a Lions tour in 2013 after being sent off in the Premiership final and banned, and he was one of the major omissions when the Lions squad was announced last month. While the tourists have not published the standby list of players, the Northampton forward, who was born in New Zealand, is the most experienced option at hooker.If Owens were ruled out of the first match of the tour on 3 June but remained in the squad, the Lions would fall foul of World Rugby’s regulations governing front-row replacements should one of the other two hookers, Jamie George and Rory Best, sustain an injury, the dilemma England faced when overlooking Hartley for the 2015 World Cup, with the forward suspended for the first match.“Ken is missing a big game for the Scarlets but with a bit of luck he will be OK for the tour,” the Lions skills coach, Neil Jenkins, said. “Players do get injured but we hope he will be fine, if not for the final then for the Lions. We will wait and see. You will have to ask Warren about who is on standby. Gats and the medical staff will have a chat and speak to the Scarlets to see where Ken is at. Let’s hope he is able to take his place on the tour.”When he announced his squad, Gatland hinted the final choice had been between Hartley, the only captain of one of the four home unions not in the 41, and George, who came off the bench early in the second half for England regularly in this year’s Six Nations. “Rory and Ken had great Six Nations and we could not leave out Jamie, who has done well off the bench and playing for Saracens,” he said.“We had a long and lively discussion and Dylan is very unlucky not to be going. He has done a great job for England since he has captained the team. There is no doubt about his leadership qualities. It was always going to be a tough call and someone was always going to be disappointed.”If Owens pulls out and Hartley is not called up, it would be more than a snub to a player who has captained England to the Six Nations title in the past two seasons. It would be an indication that his original omission was based on more than just current form, given the strong way he has reacted for his club since he was left out.
