FULL TIME: Huddersfield Town 0-4 Tottenham Hotspur

And that’s that! Spurs win their sixth successive Premier League away game, and their fourth this season. They were thoroughly dominant, with Harry Kane relentless as ever. That’s ten goals in three matches on the road in eight days. Can they play away from Wembley every week? Spurs move into third place, at least for a couple of hours, while Huddersfield fall to tenth, their goal difference finally taking a bit of a knock. The Terriers were outclassed today, but there’s no shame in that: Spurs are doing this everywhere they go right now.

GOAL! Huddersfield Town 0-4 Tottenham Hotspur (Sissoko 90 +1)

Son drives at Huddersfield with the home side light at the back. Davies is set clear down the left. He flicks into the middle, where Sissoko must score. And he does, but only after miscontrolling and seeing his shot, aimed for the bottom left, flick off the boot of Schindler and into the bottom right.

89 min: Space for van la Parra down the right. His cross is deflected out for a corner. Can Huddersfield - who, to be fair, hit the woodwork in the first half, and could easily have been awarded a penalty - grab a consolation?

87 min: No hat-trick for Kane; he’s replaced by Son. The substitution allows the away fans to give their favourite son a deserved standing ovation. The home fans, to their great credit, generously join in.

86 min: Alli slips Sissoko away down the right. Sissoko drops a shoulder to zip past the sliding Schindler, but his shot flies straight into the chest of Lossl.

85 min: Malone has looked lively since coming on, though. He has another busy run down the left, though the cross doesn’t work out.

84 min: Billing, sat very deep, sprays a glorious right-to-left pass towards Malone. Spurs are a little light at the back; sadly for Huddersfield, Malone falls flat on his face upon taking receipt of the ball.

80 min: Alli floats a chip down the middle of the park and very nearly releases Kane into the area. Jorgensen wins the battle and the ball goes back to Lossl.

78 min: Not that Spurs would say no to another goal or two, should they happen to come along. Sissoko uses his fresh legs to bustle his way into the box down the right, but his cross isn’t up to much.

77 min: We’re in Training Mode now. Both teams would be more than happy to call it a day now, by the looks of it.

73 min: Kane sprays a pass wide left for Davies, who powers past Smith and earns a corner. From the set piece, Dier picks up possession on the edge of the box, and looks to sidefoot a clever one into the bottom right. It’s deflected out for another corner, this time on the right. From which ...

71 min: Eriksen chases after a chip down the left. He beats the flapping Lossl to the ball, on the byline to the left of goal. But his attempt to find Kane in the middle with a floating cross is no good, and Lossl makes up for his error by claiming back the ball.

70 min: The Huddersfield fans have finally found their voice, and are giving it plenty right now. Is there a better noise in football than the defiant support of the defeated? Malone responds with another fine run down the left. He reaches the byline and dinks a fine ball into the middle. Kachunga can’t meet it at the near post, and Alderweireld flicks away.

67 min: Eriksen sashays infield from the left, leaving Jorgensen and Hogg in his wake. His low whack towards the bottom left is easily gathered by Lossl. “It’s worth pointing out that Dele Alli is now a yellow card away from receiving simultaneous suspensions from Fifa, Uefa and the FA,” notes Danny Michaux, who I’m guessing wouldn’t have him any other way.

65 min: A booking for Kachunga, who came second-best in a high-kicking contest with Vertonghen, as the pair attempted to deal with a disobedient bouncing ball. There really wasn’t much in that.

64 min: Malone tries to snap the match back into life. He makes off down the left and curls a low cross into the centre. Vertonghen doesn’t clear, but there’s nobody in blue-and-white stripes lurking, and Lloris claims with ease.

60 min: Vertonghen latches onto a loose Hogg pass in the midfield. He’s got options to feed team-mates in on goal, but takes a blooter from 30 yards instead. No good!

58 min: Alli dribbles his way past Schindler and into the area down the left. He looks to poke the ball past Lossl from a tight angle, but over-runs it, then goes over theatrically before he reaches the keeper. It’s not a very good dive, and he’s booked for it. He grins sheepishly as he jogs back upfield.

57 min: Huddersfield stroke it around the back awhile. The clock ticks on. It’s like that already. Eventually they’re forced to move upfield, and lose the ball in short order.

55 min: Tripper insists he’s good to go again, and the physio agrees. He’s quickly back into the action, nearly getting on the end of a pass down the right wing.

54 min: Ince clatters into Trippier, as the pair legitimately contest a high ball. The Spurs full-back comes off worse, having taken a whack to the back of his head. All accidental. A break while he’s quizzed by the physio and wiped down with a cool, wet sponge.

51 min: Kane wheels down the right wing and nearly finds Alli and Davies in the middle with a floating cross. Not quite. Huddersfield are in damage-limitation mode, but they’re in danger of shipping more goals yet.

49 min: Davies dinks Eriksen away down the left. Eriksen can’t get a shot away from a tight angle. He tries to cue up Kane, but Schindler is on hand to block. Eriksen has another go, and the ball squirts out for a corner on the left. From the set piece, Dier flicks on, and Kane should batter home from six yards, but he mistimes his leaping kick and the ball flies out to the right of goal.

48 min: Winks wedges a pass down the inside-right channel with a view of releasing Kane into the Huddersfield box. Schindler is on hand to battle and eventually force the in-form Spurs man out of play. Goal kick.

47 min: Lossl launches it long. Depoitre briefly threatens to break clear, but there’s to be no good old-fashioned 1980s route-one goal, as Sanchez steps across to ease the Huddersfield striker out of the road.

HALF TIME: Huddersfield Town 0-3 Tottenham Hotspur

So that’s 13 goals in September for Harry Kane. Seven in the last in seven days. And Spurs have scored three on the road for the fourth match in a row, following games at Everton, West Ham and Apoel Nicosia. (Just the two at Newcastle on the opening weekend, the slackers.) Poor Huddersfield.

45 min: Winks, Dier and Eriksen combine to confuse each other in the centre circle, and for a second it looks as though Depoitre is going to take advantage and scoot clear. But he’s not got the jet-power, and his attempted pass to send Kachunga away down the right is weak and misplaced.

43 min: Depoitre bombs down the inside-right channel, and with no other option but to go it alone, sends a powerful rising shot towards the top right from 25 yards. It pings off the top of the crossbar and out. A little bit lower, and Lloris was picking that out of his net; he wasn’t getting across to it. Huddersfield have been comprehensively outplayed, and yet they’ve hit the woodwork and had a fair shout for a penalty kick. The margins in the Premier League are fine.

42 min: ... Spurs do very little. But Hogg makes an awful hash of a clearance, another fresh-air swipe. He eventually gets the job done, but he’s betraying Huddersfield’s frayed nerves.

41 min: Spurs hog the ball for a bit, then Davies turns on a little speed and wins a corner down the left. From which ...

38 min: Trippier reaches the right-hand corner of the pitch and whips a glorious cross into the Huddersfield box from a tight spot. What a ball. Who needs Kyle Walker?! But Kane can’t get on the end of it, and Schindler lifts clear.
