Tottenham Hotspur have maintained their dream start to the campaign with a perfect hat trick by Harry Kane who helped them secure a decisive 3-0 victory over hosts APOEL Nicosia.

The England striker put the North London club ahead in the 39th minute on Tuesday, sliding the ball into the net after running onto a through ball from Belgium international Toby Alderweireld.

Right after the hour-mark, and against the run of play, Moussa Sissoko picked out Kane at the edge of the box and the marksman calmly drilled a shot into the bottom corner to double their advantage.

Five minutes later, the treble was completed when Kane’s header flashed into the back of the net to mark his 6th hat trick of the year as he has now scored 32 goals in 30 matches for the Spurs. The win takes Mauricio Pochettino's side level on points with Real Madrid at the top of Group H.
