Tottenham Hotspur 5-0 Swansea City<\/strong><\/p>\n

Spurs had plenty of the ball on home soil but it took until the six minutes before the break<\/span><\/span> for them to break the deadlock.<\/p>\n

Dele Alli won a penalty from Kyle Naughton near the side of the box, and Harry Kane gladly thudded the spot-kick home<\/span><\/span>.<\/p>\n

Heung-Min Son doubled the score in more glamourous circumstances as his acrobatic volley flew past Lukasz Fabianski, who had previously been doing well to keep Tottenham at bay.<\/p>\n

After the break, it got even better for Pochettino\u2019s men as Kane thumped home inside the box after an excellent counter attack involving Christian Eriksen, Alli, and Son.<\/p>\n

Somewhat scrappily, Eriksen made it four as he bundled the ball following Alli\u2019s deflected shot on goal, and then slotted home another in added time to make it 5-0.<\/p>\n

And the humiliating defeat leaves Bob Bradley\u2019s Jacks rooted to the bottom of the table.<\/p>\n

Sunderland 2-1 Leicester City<\/strong><\/p>\n

The threat of relegation became even clearer to the Foxes on Saturday afternoon as they lost to the Black Cats.<\/p>\n

Robert Huth\u2019s own goal put Sunderland ahead as Claudio Ranieri\u2019s men struggled to get to grips with the game.<\/p>\n

And, after Patrick van Aanholt saw appeals for a penalty turned down, Jermain Defoe thrashed the ball home after Duncan Watmore\u2019s strike was blocked with 77 minutes on the clock.<\/p>\n

Shinji Okazaki did get one back for the reigning Premier League\u00a0 champions but it wasn\u2019t enough as Sunderland held on.<\/p>\n

Crystal Palace 3-0 Southampton<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Eagles needed some good luck after last week\u2019s 5-4 defeat to Swansea City, and got it in unbelievable circumstances as Fraser Forster missed his kick, allowing Christian Benteke to open the scoring from just five yards.<\/p>\n

James Tomkins doubled the score after 36 minutes, sweeping the ball in from close range when a corner found its way into the six-yard box.<\/p>\n

Southampton rallied and saw several chances fall to them, but failed to put any into the back of the net.<\/p>\n

And to round off an excellent afternoon, Benteke polished off a cut-back from Jason Puncheon, helping them up into 13th place in the table.<\/p>\n

Stoke City 2-0 Burnley<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jon Walters proved he\u2019s still got plenty to offer the Potters as he met Mame Biram Diouf\u2019s cross and arced a delicate finish over<\/span><\/span> Paul Robinson and into the net.<\/p>\n

Mark Hughes\u2019 men grabbed a second ten minutes before half-time when a slow counter attack saw Marc Muniesa meander forward and then volley home<\/span><\/span> from nine yards out.<\/p>\n

West Brom 3-1 Watford<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Baggies went in front as Jonny Evans rose highest at the back post to nod in a Chris Brunt corner, and the supplier became the scorer not long after as the Northern Irish star saw his strike, after a set-piece routine, rattle into the bottom corner.<\/p>\n

Christian Kabasele got one back for the Hornets but, as they attempted to snatch an equaliser, Roberto Pererya was sent off.<\/p>\n

And to ensure all three points went to the Baggies, Matt Phillips cut in from the flank and thumped home a left-foot shot.<\/p>\n
