Harry Kane hat-trick secures golden boot as Spurs thrash relegated Hull


Harry Kane capped another prolific season with a second hat-trick in four days to secure the golden boot for the second successive season as Tottenham demolished relegated Hull 7-1.
The England striker fired four in Tottenham’s 6-1 thrashing of fallen champions Leicester on Thursday to overtake Everton’s Romelu Lukaku in the Premier League scoring charts and struck three more to take his tally to 29 for the season as Hull were torn apart.
Kane scored twice in the first half and completed his hat-trick midway through the second period, with Mauricio Pochettino’s side celebrating their best top-flight finish since 1963 in fine style.
Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino: “It’s fantastic for him (Kane). All his team-mates, all the club and the fans are so happy about that. He deserves it. Congratulations for him. He’s one of the best strikers in the world. His will to improve and learn is the most important thing in a player. It’s difficult to say who is the best, but he’s one of the best sure, already.”
Hull boss Marco Silva: “Now is not the moment to talk. When I talk with our owner next Wednesday, I will say to him and of course after, our players and our fans will know. I need to analyse, to see what is the best way for the club and me as well and not to decide anything with the heart, but to think about the moment. The fans’ support is fantastic, but I need time to think and decide what is the best way for my career.”

It seemed inevitable when Kane struck his third goal in the 72nd minute to take his Premier League goals tally for the season to 29. He took Alli’s pass into the penalty area in his stride and showed admirable composure to arrow a low shot into the bottom corner.

In with the crowd

Tottenham were naturally in good voice throughout as their travelling army celebrated their side’s best top-flight finish in 54 years. But Hull, relegated last week after their defeat at Crystal Palace, were backed right to the end – and beyond – by a good number of their fans. Tigers supporters made it clear throughout the game they want head coach Marco Silva to remain at the club and showed great loyalty to both him and the players at the end despite witnessing their heaviest defeat of the season.
