Spurs play down title talk

LONDON. — Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino played down his side’s title chances after they closed to within four points of the English Premier League soccer summit by overwhelming West Ham United 4-1.

Harry Kane scored twice, his seventh and eighth goals in five games, and defenders Toby Alderweireld and Kyle Walker were also on target at White Hart Lane on Sunday as Pochettino’s enterprising young team equalled the club record of 12 consecutive Premier League games without defeat.

With leaders Leicester City untested and Manchester City, Arsenal and Manchester United showing signs of vulnerability – not to mention floundering Chelsea – Spurs currently look the division’s most robust team. — AFP.
