Harry Kane hat-trick fires Spurs into quarter-finals

Harry Kane scored a hat-trick as Tottenham eased into the quarter-finals of the FA Cup with a 3-0 win away at Championship Fulham.

Spurs totally dominated the opening exchanges and it was no surprise when Kane grabbed the opener, sliding home his 17th of the season from Christian Eriksen’s cross.

The visitors had enough chances to be further ahead at the break but soon after half-time they had the second that their dominance merited, Kane again in the right place to tap home Eriksen’s delivery despite replays showing him marginally offside.

And the Spurs skipper made sure that he would take the match ball home, latching onto Dele Alli’s superb pass to smash home past Marcus Bettinelli.

Kane's hat-trick was his fifth for Spurs in all competitions and his first ever hat-trick in a London derby in all competitions.
