These are the games we need to keep winning has been the call from us mere bloggers and journos alike for most of last and this season. Today we saw that Spurs are starting to hit top form and at times today they were able to play well within themselves. Some will point to West Brom being poor but to be honest Spurs were simply sensational again today at the Lane. It's like watching the push and run of Spurs of decades again and do I mind that? Do I like that to slightly paraphrase the wonderful Graham Taylor whose minutes applause was wonderfully observed by all and correctly so for a true gent of the football world.

Kane's hat trick was superb, Alli was bristling with his burgeoning talent, Rose is getting better which is frightening to consider and the entire team were absolutely terrific. But for Ben Foster, Spurs could very easily have had 9 or 10 today.

Simply Terrific Tottenham Hotspur!!!!

Lloris - 10 One of the thousands of spectators. Had to make a couple of sweeper clearances which he did well.

Walker - 10 Attacking like an exocet missile. Another brilliant performance. Class.

Rose- 10 If he isn't already, Rose must be soon to be called World Class. Surely the best left back in Europe.

Dier - 10 Looks so much more comfortable in a back three. Didn't put a foot wrong!!!

Vertonghen - 10 we all hope the injury isn't too bad but it looked a nasty twist. Prior to that was absolutely faultless.

Alderweireld- 10 Imperious. Can he be named in the same breath as Ledley King? Yes he can. His defending and range of passing is simply outstanding.

Wanyama - 10 What he brings to this team is such solidity. His power and turn of pace is such a treat. Another great game from Victor!

Dembele - 10 It must be like trying to move a mountain. Some lovely footwork as well today and looking like the beast we have come to love.

Alli - 10 So unlucky not to get the goal his performance derived today and he went nutmeg crazy again! Sensational footballer.

Eriksen - 10 The back 3 has allowed Eriksen to have so much freedom and today he was unbelievable Jeff!! Ran the show.

Kane - 10+ What can I say. But for Foster Harry would have had 6 today with no trouble at all. Hat trick hero and new dad. He really is one of our very own.

Winks - 9 Dropped 1 point just for not playing the full game.
Son - 9 As above
Davies -9 As above

Pochettino - 10 He deserves to have his name sung out so loudly. What he is building is a Spurs for now and for the long term future. Long may he reign over us!!!

Nothing else to say. Over to you folks!!! Enjoy the weekend and as ever Come on You Spurs!!!!!

Bit critical here...

I actually spontaneously applauded at the TV for Alli's "goal" that was offside. Haven't done that in a while

Another point worth making, I think:

Out of our 7 consecutive wins, only the second (Burnley) was by a single goal. The others, were by margins of 3, 3, 3, 2, 2 & 4.

21 goals scored, 3 conceded.

Looks like Ben Foster gives us the Thumbs up.

I like Foster. He got a good ripple of applause from our fans when he came out for the second half.

Fair enough too.

He's always brilliant against us.
