Tottenham strengthened their European qualification hopes with a 2-0 win over Wolves which moved them into the top six.
Harry Kane opened the scoring with a goal that advanced his chances of winning the Premier League Golden Boot and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg doubled the lead after the break.
It was Kane’s 22nd goal of the season, taking him back in front of Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah in the race for a prize he has won twice before, while he also hit the post twice.

Goals by Harry Kane and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg were enough for Tottenham to secure a 2-0 victory over Wolves in north London and keep their Champions League dream alive.
Kane struck just before the break while Holjbjerg was on hand to tap home in the second period to earn his side all three points.
Spurs knew they needed a victory to preserve their slim chances of a top-four finish. More realistically they are aiming at the Europa League and made a bright start at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Gareth Bale was lively operating on the right of a front three, with Son Heung-Min also supporting Kane. And it was the England skipper who almost opened the scoring in just the sixth minute.
