Tottenham leapfrogged Burnley in the table courtesy of a dominant victory at Turf Moor where Harry Kane hit his seventh Premier League hat-trick.
Spurs, who are now up to fifth, started quick and were ahead inside seven minutes when Kane converted a penalty won by pantomime villain Dele Alli.
England star Alli was booed by Burnley fans from the fourth minute when he was booked for a lunging challenge on Charlie Taylor.
