The final whistle goes and the White Hart Lane faithful celebrate their side's first win of 2016. It looked like being a tough afternoon when they went in 1-1 at half-time, but Spurs upped their game significantly after the break and - helped out massively by the calamitous introduction of Kirchhoff - have run out 4-1 winners. Thanks very much for joining us. Stick around for coverage of the big 15:00 games in the Premier League.

Kane is replaced by Son for the final minutes.

It's been impressive from Spurs in the second half. This was the sort of game that they've struggled to win this season, but they have been clinical.
83'
Spurs break again, but Kirchhoff clears Kane's cross behind for a corner. Given what's gone before he must have been expecting that to spin back for an own-goal, but it was solid defending... on this occasion at least!

That goal was Harry Kane's 50th in English league football.

Amazingly it was Kirchhoff who gave the penalty away. What a nightmare time the substitute has had on his Sunderland debut!

GOOOAAALLL!!! Harry Kane dispatches the penalty and it's 4-1 to Spurs. Game over.

It's a penalty to Spurs as Danny Rose is completely cleared out inside the box. You don't get a much more of a penalty than that.

Alli is given a talking to by the ref after flicking the ball into Van Aanholt's face under the pretence of giving him the ball.

Sam Allardyce's switch to a five in defence has back-fired spectacularly. Sunderland looked pretty solid prior to that, but there are gaps everywhere for Spurs now.

Lamela is given a rest by Pochettino after a pretty heavy run of games (presumably he'll also start against Leicester in midweek). Onomah comes on.
