Harry Kane scores a hat-trick as Tottenham beat Arsenal.

The 3-0 victory over Burnley helped Mauricio Pochettino's team climb to fifth place after matchday 19 of the Premier League.

Goals: Kane 7' 69' 79'.

Before this match, Tottenham were behind Arsenal and Burnley and under pressure due to their recent poor run of form. A second consecutive victory at Turf Moor helped the "Spurs" salvage some pride after their 1-4 defeat to Man City in the previous round.

Kane gave Tottenham an early lead with a successful penalty after Dele Alli was fouled inside the box. This goal allowed them to control the game more easily. Before Kane's second goal, Tottenham had created several chances but failed to capitalize.

Notable moments included Kane's rebound shot that narrowly missed the target, and Moussa Sissoko's attempt being saved by goalkeeper Nick Pope. Burnley played well in the final 20 minutes of the first half and the beginning of the second, creating several potentially dangerous attacks.

However, Tottenham were the team that had the clearest chances. Son Heung-min shot wide from over 7 meters out, completely unmarked, after receiving a pass from Serge Aurier. Later, Kane missed a dangerous counter-attack opportunity, his pass to Christian Eriksen being slightly too strong with Burnley having only one defender in front of them.

But eventually, Tottenham found the second goal. Winning the ball in midfield, Sissoko quickly threaded a pass to Kane, who beat the offside trap. In a one-on-one situation with the goalkeeper, the England international fired a low shot, sending the ball past Pope.

Ten minutes after that goal, Kane ended the home team's hopes with a goal to seal the 3-0 victory. Ben Davies stole the ball from a Burnley player and passed it to Alli. The England midfielder released the ball for Kane, who dribbled past a defender and fired a left-footed shot into the far corner.

This was Kane's seventh hat-trick of the year, adding to his already memorable season. In the match against Southampton on December 26th, the 24-year-old striker only needed one more goal to surpass the Premier League record for most goals in a single year, set by Alan Shearer 22 years ago. Kane has now scored 36 goals.

Following this victory, Tottenham have 34 points, the same as Arsenal, but are ahead due to a better goal difference.
