At the most elite level the difference between success and failure is fire power and so it was demonstrated on the northerly boundaries of our capital city. Spurs had Harry Kane and Son. Newcastle had neither.
Kane and Son have scored 37 goals between them so far this season (22-15). The whole of the United team that started have managed only 17, less than half that of the masters. Our centre-forward has a single goal to his credit, theirs has 22.
That is bad enough but when you're Deadly Duo are also Kings of the Assists, mighty takers AND makers, then the gulf in class becomes as wide as the Thames. United flattered all by taking the lead but then Son made the equaliser with a delicious whipped cross, Kane equalled his partner's audacity to create a sumptuous second, and Son scored their third. Game well and truly over.
