Tottenham tallied three goals in the first half, and Harry Kane and Son Heung-Min each added another in the second to dominate Bournemouth 5-0.
Tottenham are going from strength to strength, having followed Sunday’s 6-2 victory at Everton with a similarly emphatic 5-0 home win over Bournemouth to climb into second place.
Christian Eriksen opened the scoring with a strike that deflected in off Jefferson Lerma, and Son Heung-min and Lucas Moura made it 3-0 before half-time at Wembley.
Another two goals followed in the second half as Harry Kane got in on the act and Son struck again, taking his tally to four goals in two matches.

The 21-year-old full-back made only his second start of the season in the decisive Champions League showdown with Barcelona and suffered a nightmare start, losing the ball to Ousmane Dembele to score in the seventh minute.
But he was pleased with his reaction in a game Spurs went on to draw 1-1, which was enough to put his team into the round of 16. And, as Tottenham now prepare…

Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has no intention of loaning out Kyle Walker-Peters and says the 21-year-old has become one of his “best options.”
Walker-Peters has struggled for game time this season, with Tuesday’s Champions League showdown at the Camp Nou being only his second start and his third appearance in all competitions. His night began badly as he lost the ball to Ousmane Dembele, who gave Barcelona a seventh-minute lead, and he was promptly booked before being substituted…
Mauricio Pochettino announced he will pit 21-year-old right-back Kyle Walker-Peters against Barcelona as Tottenham gear up for Tuesday’s decisive Champions League showdown.
Spurs will probably need to win at the Nou Camp to secure the runners-up spot in Group B and progress to the knockout stages, given that third-placed Inter Milan are level with them on points and host bottom-side PSV Eindhoven.
They have had to travel without their top two right-backs, Kieran Trippier and Serge Aurier, who are…

Last season was a mixed one for Tottenham’s young full-back Kyle Walker-Peters, with chances taken at the beginning and end but lengthy periods of inactivity in between.
Having won the Under-20 World Cup with England last summer, the 21-year-old made his Premier League debut against Newcastle on the opening day of the campaign and was named man of the match.
But Spurs promptly signed Serge Aurier and Walker-Peters only started four further matches after that. Three of those came in the League Cup…

Tottenham are in talks with defender Kyle Walker-Peters over a new deal, sources close to the club have told ESPN FC.
Full-back Walker-Peters only signed a contract at Tottenham last August just days after making his Premier League debut on the opening day of the season against Newcastle.
He still has two years to run on his current contract, but Spurs want to reward him for his progress in breaking into the first team with a new improved deal.

Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino stresses the need for more competition in the squad after Spurs’ 2-0 win at Newcastle.
Newcastle battled toe for toe with Tottenham until Jonjo Shelvey was sent off early in the second half, leading to Dele Alli and Ben Davies’ goals.
At some clubs, if a 20-year-old had been given his debut in the season opener, when there had not yet been any signings, it would have been interpreted as a pointed message from the manager to the chairman.

But if it had been, it would have backfired. Rather than underlining the need for a new…

Kyle Walker-Peters is the latest young player to graduate from Tottenham’s academy after the 20-year-old made his senior debut in Sunday’s 2-0 win at Newcastle.
The right-back was named Man of the Match for an assured display, which suggests he may have more opportunities to fill the void left by his near-namesake Kyle Walker, who joined Manchester City from Spurs for £45 million last month. But who is Walker-Peters?
