Tottenham 3-0 Norwich LIVE! Son rounds off win - Premier League result, match stream and latest updates today

Tottenham beat Norwich 3-0 on Sunday to move into fifth in the Premier League.

Lucas Moura, Davinson Sanchez and Son all scored to extend Antonio Conte’s winning run in the competition since being appointed in October.

Moura gave the home side a 10th-minute lead with a shot from outside the penalty area that proved as impressive a finish as the slick build-up that led to it.

Sanchez thrashed home a loose ball from close range from Son’s corner to double the lead after 67 minutes and effectively snuff out some enterprising passages of play from struggling Norwich.

Ten minutes later Son held off the visiting defence to work himself into position and smash the ball past Tim Krul in the Norwich goal.

Defeat for the Canaries was the first since Dean Smith took over as manager and left them bottom of the table.

They did create opportunities, however, with Teemu Pukki coming close to snatching a third-minute lead but hitting his shot straight at Spurs goalkeeper Hugo Lloris.

They were also well-placed to equalise soon after halftime but Adam Idah spurned a close-range chance with the goal at his mercy after Pukki had miscued an initial effort.

Spurs’ superior finishing made all the difference even if skipper Harry Kane failed to add to the single league goal he has scored this season.

Moura’s effort was powerfully hit, Sanchez showed split second reactions to snap up his goal after Ben Davies had flicked on Son’s corner and Son’s powerful run past the Norwich defence also resulted in a well-taken goal.

It was the first time Spurs had scored three goals in a home league game this season.

Three wins on the bounce for Conte’s Spurs now.

Spurs happy to sit back

15:49 , Jonathan Gorrie

89:00 - As you might expect, Spurs are happy to sit back and let Norwich play at this stage.

CHANCE FOR NORWICH

83:00 - Sargent misses what looked like a tap in.

15:42 , Jonathan Gorrie

Dan Kilpatrick at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

15:40 , Jonathan Gorrie

I don’t think he’ll be credited with an assist for Sanchez but Davies has now made both Spurs goals this half, after going close himself and forcing the opener against Brentford. Remarkably, he is increasingly a big attacking threat for Conte’s Spurs.

GOAL: Tottenham 3-0 Norwich | Son ‘77

15:38 , Jonathan Gorrie

77:00 - Smart finish inside the box from Son after good work from Davies.

15:34 , Jonathan Gorrie

73:00 - Curling shot from Kane draws another save from Krul.

Just as Norwich were looking increasingly comfortable, Spurs score directly from a corner for the second game running, having previously failed to do so since the final day of last season.

GOAL: Tottenham 2-0 Norwich | Davinson Sanchez ‘67

15:27 , Jonathan Gorrie

67:00 - Sanchez finishes a scramble in the box by lashing it home after Norwich fail to deal with a corner.

CHANCE FOR SPURS

15:25 , Jonathan Gorrie

65:00 - Kane draw a good save from Krul with a shot from the edge of the box.

Dan Kilpatrick from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

15:24 , Jonathan Gorrie

A difficult afternoon for Tanganga, who was run ragged by Williams before being replaced. Conte’s best system is creaking a little without his first choice wing-backs Reguilon and Royal.

Norwich growing in confidence

15:21 , Jonathan Gorrie

62:00 - Idah and Pukki finding more space up front together.

Frankly, Norwich look like they deserve a point.

Spurs’ second change

15:19 , Jonathan Gorrie

Dan Kilpatrick from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

15:19 , Jonathan Gorrie

Spurs don’t look any more comfortable since half-time and Norwich are well worthy of a point on the balance of play and growing in confidence. Dier and Sanchez have both had shaky moments at the back.

CHANCE FOR NORWICH

15:18 , Jonathan Gorrie

60:00 - Idah pokes one wide and Williams links well with Pukki.

Not sure how he missed.

Sessegnon dangerous

15:17 , Jonathan Gorrie

56:00 - Spurs’ best player in the second-half.

So dangerous on the left.

Tanganga vs Williams: The battle continues

15:13 , Jonathan Gorrie

52:00 - Couple of fouls already between the two but, generally, it’s been a very even contest.

Williams just tried to run at the Spurs man and, while Tanganga did well, won a corner, which Hanley heads over from.

15:11 , Jonathan Gorrie

CHANCE FOR SPURS

15:07 , Jonathan Gorrie

48:00 - Nice corner from Son but the cross hits Kane’s shoulder before going out of play.

Tottenham tend to improve second-half

15:06 , Jonathan Gorrie

47:00 - Against Leeds and Brentford, Spurs have started the second-half with a renewed energy.

That looks to be the case here too.

Back underway!

15:04 , Jonathan Gorrie

46:00 - Second-half begins.

Dan Kilpatrick’s half-time verdict

14:49 , Jonathan Gorrie

Spurs are less in control and more open than against Brentford but they’re ahead through Lucas’s rocket and look threatening on the counter and from crosses. Son came alive on Thursday but Lucas’s turn today. Kane’s frustration continuing so far.

Half-time: Tottenham 1-0 Norwich

14:49 , Jonathan Gorrie

Moura’s goal the difference so far.

Half chance for Norwich

14:47 , Jonathan Gorrie

46:00 - Williams hits a half-volley from outside the box but it loops over Lloris.

14:46 , Jonathan Gorrie

CHANCE FOR SPURS

14:44 , Jonathan Gorrie

44:00 - Davies puts one across for Son, who shoots just wide.

Dan Kilpatrick from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

14:42 , Jonathan Gorrie

Son came alive against Brentford on Thursday but this afternoon it’s Lucas’s turn. The Brazilian is proving hard to stop with the ball at hit feet and is also proving a creative hub for Spurs. By contrast, Kane has continued to be frustrated after his lob of Krul drops just wide of the post.

CHANCE FOR SPURS

14:41 , Jonathan Gorrie

40:00 - Kane nearly chips Krul from 30 yards but it goes just wide.

Not been his day so far.

Goalmouth scramble

14:40 , Jonathan Gorrie

40:00 - Spurs do well to clear a loose ball after Gilmour chips a free-kick into the box.

Sessegnon impressing

14:39 , Jonathan Gorrie

38:00 - After seemingly blowing his chance in the first-team last week with a red card, Ryan Sessegnon has looked good so far.

Causing problems behind Aarons, allowing space for Moura to work in.

CHANCE FOR SPURS

14:36 , Jonathan Gorrie

35:00 - Krul misses a free-kick into the box but Davies just can’t get the final touch.

Moura unplayable

14:35 , Jonathan Gorrie

34:00 - Norwich players just can’t get near Moura when he drops deep into a No.10 position.

Gimour getting quite the reception

14:34 , Jonathan Gorrie

32:00 - The Spurs faithful are making the Chelsea loanee feel ‘welcome’.

CHANCE FOR SPURS:

14:31 , Jonathan Gorrie

30:00 - Son’s shot hits Kane and the deflection goes just wide.

14:29 , Jonathan Gorrie

Not the best wee for some FPL players...

14:27 , Jonathan Gorrie

Aarons involved

14:27 , Jonathan Gorrie

25:00 - Max Aarons, frequently linked with Spurs, is seeing a lot of the ball.

An audition, perhaps?

Confirmation of the change

14:22 , Jonathan Gorrie

Early blow for Spurs

14:22 , Jonathan Gorrie

Moura tries it again!

14:22 , Jonathan Gorrie

20:00 - Not successful this time but the Brazilian looks so dangerous cutting inside.

Early battle

14:20 , Jonathan Gorrie

19:00 - Tanganga and Williams looks a great battle already.

Even so far.

Ideal for Spurs

14:18 , Jonathan Gorrie

17:00 - Now, Spurs can contain a team not exactly known for their goalscoring ability and hopefully exploit the space they leave.

Ideal for a Conte team.

14:16 , Jonathan Gorrie

Dan Kilpatrick from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

14:15 , Jonathan Gorrie

Lucas is often a frustrating player who lacks end product but his goal was a reminder that he can be deadly and decisive. The skill to beat Gilmour and the finish were both instinctive and brilliant.

GOAL: Tottenham 1-0 Norwich | Lucas Moura ‘10

14:10 , Jonathan Gorrie

10:00 - Rocket from Lucas Moura into the top corner after beating Norwich defenders will some great skill.

Dan Kilpatrick from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

14:06 , Jonathan Gorrie

An early warning against complacency for Spurs, as Pukki fires straight at Lloris. The forward was left alone in the box after Sanchez was dragged out of position over to the left. A let off.

CHANCE FOR SPURS

14:06 , Jonathan Gorrie

06:00 - Brilliant stuff from Skipp.

Driving forward, his shot is easily collected by Krul but does speak of a player growing in confidence.

CHANCE FOR NORWICH

14:04 , Jonathan Gorrie

04:00 - Idah puts Pukki in with only Lloris to beat but the Spurs ‘keeper saves well.

Tottenham pressing

14:03 , Jonathan Gorrie

01:00 - Some good early pressure from Spurs.

Bit more adventurous than they were in the opening stages against Brentford.

Antonio Conte on Oliver Skipp

12:48 , Jonathan Gorrie

“He has to improve with the ball, no? In possession. This player, without the ball, he works very, very hard. To have him in the midfield together with Hobby is very, very important.”

Could Yaya Toure cross the North London divide?

12:38 , Jonathan Gorrie

The 38-year-old currently lives with his family in Hampstead and Standard Sport understands he would be open to a more formal role with Spurs if the possibility arises.

However, a period learning at Arsenal - the club where older brother Kolo enjoys cult status - could also be on the cards in future, with Arteta receptive to the idea of working with Toure again after their paths previously crossed during the latter’s final years at City, where Arteta served as Pep Guardiola’s coaching protege.

Antonio Conte refuses to entertain the idea of resting Harry Kane

12:31 , Jonathan Gorrie

“Honesty we are talking about an important player for us, an important player for all. Yeah, in this moment I am answering in this way. I hope to improve the situation, to improve the confidence of all players and to see that maybe without Harry we can cover the situation. Not in the same way, but in a way that can be good to get three points. Now in this moment, honestly, I don’t see this team starting without Harry.”

“‘Ketchup? Yeah! I heard about it. I don’t even know if ketchup’s banned. I don’t think it is. I don’t have ketchup. There is nothing I would have ketchup with!”

Lloris could be in line for a new contract

Antonio Conte has hinted the Spurs captain could be set for contract talks.

Standard Sport prediction

11:48 , George Flood

Given how poorly Norwich have been until recently it’s difficult to imagine them overcoming a Spurs side hitting form under Conte.

Tottenham to win, 2-0.

Norwich team news - Cantwell back in contention

11:48 , George Flood

Norwich, meanwhile, are still without the trio of Christoph Zimmermann, Milot Rashica and Mathias Normann.

However, Todd Cantwell is back in contention after missing the midweek draw with Newcastle after a close contact tested positive for Covid-19.

Tottenham team news - No new injury concerns

11:46 , George Flood

Tottenham have no new injury worries to contend with this afternoon, with Antonio Conte no doubt tempted to keep changes to a minimum after Thursday’s win over Brentford.

However, this is the start of a very busy festive period for Spurs, so some rotation could presumably occur.

The hosts are without key defender Cristian Romero until the New Year with a serious hamstring injury, while fellow Argentine Giovani Lo Celso is also still sidelined.

Predicted Tottenham XI: Lloris; Sanchez, Dier, Davies; Royal, Hojbjerg, Skipp, Reguilon; Lucas, Son; Kane
