Four second half goals from Tottenham including a Harry Kane brace were enough to see Spurs ease past Stoke at Wembley. Four second-half goals saw Spurs crush a hapless Stoke side 5-1 and gave some much-needed momentum to their Premier league season.

Berlin (AFP) – Arturo Vidal’s fourth goal in as many league games shot Bayern Munich to a 1-0 win at Eintracht Frankfurt and an eight-point lead at the top of the Bundesliga on Saturday.
