Spurs beat Norwich to qualify for Champions League


Son Heung-min celebrates scoring against Norwich
Son Heung-min’s second-half double saw him finish level with Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah in the race for the Golden Boot

Tottenham secured Champions League qualification, denying north London rivals Arsenal in the process, with an emphatic victory over already-relegated Norwich at Carrow Road.

Spurs needed just a draw to seal a top-four finish, and got the job done in stress-free fashion after first-half goals from Dejan Kulusevski and Harry Kane quickly dispelled any pre-match nerves among the travelling supporters.

Kulusevski added a third with a brilliant left-footed strike on 64 minutes before Son scored twice to put him level with Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah in the race for the Golden Boot on 23 goals apiece.

Spurs finished two points clear of Arsenal, whose victory over Everton ultimately proved inconsequential.
