We picked up in 2017 right where we left off in 2016 with another blistering performance and a repeat of the scoreline by which we won at Southampton on Wednesday night.
A well-taken brace from Harry Kane inside 33 minutes had us well and truly in control before Dele Alli got in on the act with a close-range finish four minutes before the break to put us out of sight.
Dele doubled his tally less than 80 seconds after the restart and from there we bossed the possession to see out the game.
Hugo Lloris did have a couple of interventions to make late on and ex-Spur Younes Kaboul bundled home a scrappy stoppage-time consolation after a free-kick caused chaos in the box to make it 4-1, but that didn’t tarnish what was a highly-satisfactory afternoon’s work in Mauricio’s eyes.
