Tottenham cruised to victory on the first day of 2019 at the Cardiff City stadium, with a highly comfortable 3-0 win returning them to winning ways following the 3-1 home defeat to Wolves over the weekend.
After that ignominious loss, a fast start was required, and that was exactly what they got when Harry Kane bundled in the opener inside four minutes. Up against an unusually disjointed Cardiff side, it didn't take long for the visitors to double their lead, when Christian Eriksen was afforded far too much time and space on the edge of the area to silkily score.
