Spurs dominated the weekend with an emphatic 6-2 thumping of Leicester City with forward Son Heung-Min finally opening his league account with a stunning second-half hattrick.

Elsewhere - in Moldova to be precise - Europa League favorites Manchester United continued their run of form winning 2-0 against Sheriff Tiraspol while Liverpool downed Ajax Amsterdam 2-1 in the Champions League.
