Harry Kane again proved he's a playmaker as well as a goalscorer with a spectacular assist for a record-breaking Heung-Min Son goal.
The England captain scored the third just before the half hour mark as Spurs carved Leeds United open at Elland Road and then produced an insane pass for his partner in crime Son to make it 4-0.

Kane's range of passing had been glorious all game and he capped off a complete striker's display with one of the best passes of the season.
Kane picked up the ball deep in his own half and shrugged off Adam Forshaw. He then delivered the most outrageous pass over the Leeds backline and right into the path of Son.

The South Korean controlled the ball superbly and supplied an emphatic finish past Illan Meslier.
Incredibly, Kane and Son have now combined for a staggering 37 goals in the Premier League - overtaking Chelsea pair Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba.

Kane has demonstrated he's a natural finisher ever since he broke into the Spurs team but in recent years his game has gone to new heights in recent years when he's dropped deep and linked play wonderfully.
"It's a big honour. It's fantastic."

The 28-year-old is comfortably one of the best passers in world football and consistently conjures up inch-perfect through balls.
Son, with his pace and movement in behind, has been a huge beneficiary of that and both he and Kane have formed a truly telepathic understanding.
"We've been playing with each other for a long, long time and we just understand each other's games," Kane told BT Sport.
"When I drop deep Sonny knows where to run and hopefully I'm able to put it in. You saw that for the last goal. We enjoy playing together."
Here are the the top five most productive partnerships in Premier League history in terms of goal combinations:
1. Harry Kane & Son Heung-Min (Tottenham): 37
2. Didier Drogba & Frank Lampard (Chelsea): 36
3. Sergio Aguero & David Silva (Manchester City): 29
4. Thierry Henry & Robert Pires (Arsenal): 29
5. Darren Anderton & Teddy Sheringham (Tottenham): 27
