FULL-TIME

It's all over, and a very impressive display from Spurs. Worrying signs for Norwich, who faded away badly after the opening goal. 

Thanks for looking in, enjoy the rest of your Boxing Day.

The hosts are playing out time with three points in the bag.

Jason Roberts

Former West Brom striker on Final Score

"Tom Carroll looks a tidy footballer, with excellent technique. 

"Tottenham have been very good today."

INJURY TIME

Three minutes being added on.

GREAT SAVE!

Two brilliant close-range blocks from Lloris deny Mbokani and then Jerome to preserve the clean sheet.

Its a case of to you, to me, to you, as Lamela tries to set up Kane for his hat-trick on the edge of the area. A Norwich foot gets in the way, but it was four on on one for a time there.

Ben Davies finds Tom Carroll, who has acres of space before him. He takes his time and fires it in with his left foot from around 25 yards for a real Christmas cracker of a goal.

GOAL

SUBSTITUTION

Dele Alli is applauded off after a sublime performance, and is replaced by Son Heung-Min.

YELLOW CARD

Howson is booked for a late, clumsy challenge on Lamela.

YELLOW CARD

Eric Dier is booked, more for chatting back to the referee than for his clip on Howson.

SUBSTITUTION

Tom Carroll replaces Christian Eriksen.

It's the early bath for Vadis Odjidja and Youssouf Mulumbu, Graham Dorrans and Jonny Howson come on.

More possession from Norwich, but no end product means they are not threatening to clamber back into this.

Harry Kane is clutching his back but soldiering on for now.

GREAT SAVE!

Fine work from Hugo Lloris, who punches the ball away from just under the nose of Cameron Jerome. The pair collide, prompting calls for a penalty from the away fans, but referee Mike Jones ignores them.

GREAT SAVE!

Rudd is equal to a blasted effort from Lamela from just inside the area, punching the ball away high to his left.

Russell Martin gets into a mess when trying to clip the ball away from Kane, instead putting his own keeper under pressure. Rudd is equal to it and smothers it on the edge of the area, but the Canaries don't need errors like that.

Two chances for Spurs in a split-second. Rudd gets down well to block the rampant Alli, then Bassong gets his foot in the way as Lamella fires in from the rebound. It's one-way traffic at the moment.

Premier League latest scores

We've been experiencing some issues this afternoon with our scores updating. So, just to be clear, here is how things stand in the Premier League:

Latest scores:

Aston Villa 0-1 West Ham

Bournemouth 0-0 Crystal Palace

Chelsea 1-1 Watford

Liverpool 0-0 Leicester

Man City 4-0 Sunderland

Swansea 1-0 West Brom

Tottenham 2-0 Norwich

Result from earlier:

Stoke 2-0 Man Utd

Erik Lamela's corner is clawed away by Rudd, who does not seem happy at the set piece.

It's not just when they have the ball that Spurs are impressing - when without it, they are pushing Norwich right back to the edge of their own area. The home crowd are loving it.

A rare Norwich attack! Cameron Jerome rises to a cross from the right but the ball skims off the striker's head and goes a long way wide.

Dele Alli claps his hands in anger and frustration as Yousouff Mulumbu's foul stops him in his tracks inside the centre circle. Spurs are passing it around with aplomb.

KICK-OFF

We're under way again - no changes for either side.

Influential Alli

Dele Alli had a hand in both the goals and is subtly pulling the strings in the right areas as this graphic shows.

Jason Roberts

Former West Brom striker on Final Score

"Great news for England - Harry Kane is on form, and he's not afraid to have a shot. Here he knows exactly what he wants to do -  he's never going to pass it, he just makes space for the shot and gets it away.

"A word on Dele Alli too, because he's nutmegged about three players today, and looks a million dollars."

HALF-TIME

YELLOW CARD

Alex Tettey clatters Erik Lamela from behind to earn the first booking of the day here.

He's a record breaker

That is Harry Kane's 27th Premier League goal in 2015, a new Spurs record.

Reuters

Dele Alli sets up Harry Kane again, sliding the ball out to the right before the striker takes a couple of touches, then drilling the ball through Sebastien Bassong's legs and across Rudd low into the net.

GOAL - Spurs 2-0 Norwich

The away fans cheer as referee Jones gives a decision their way after Eric Dier clips Vadis Odjidja.

Referee Mike Jones has a long word with Dele Alli after the midfielder makes one crunching tackle too many.

GREAT SAVE!

Declan Rudd makes two superb saves within seconds of each other. He parries away Toby Alderweireld's header, then reacts to tip over Dele Alli's follow-up headed effort.

Alderweireld then spurns a great chance a minute later, nodding over the bar from inside the area when he should, at least, have hit the target.  

Spurs look a different side following Kane's goal, testing Rudd with crosses that the Norwich keeper has flapped at.

"It was an excellent ball from Dele Alli to play in Harry Kane, and he takes a touch knowing full well the challenge is coming. But it's not a dive for me though. It's the right call for the penalty."

Kane spot on

Harry Kane sends Rudd the wrong way, slotting the ball into the bottom-right corner. It's his 26th goal for Spurs in 2015 - levelling a record set by Teddy Sheringham.

GOAL - Spurs 1-0 Norwich

PENALTY

Rudd brings down Kane.

Norwich protest but the striker will step up...

A chance at last for Spurs, as Dele Alli pumps a shot at Rudd that he claws away. Harry Kane latches on to the rebound but shoots across the face of goal and wide.

Spurs with more possession but Norwich have had the better chances.

BBC

Robbie Brady comes off the right flank to curl in a left-footed shot that Lloris chooses to tip behind for a corner, even though the shot didn't look like it had much venom in it.

From the corner, Cameron Jerome gets a header in but the ball goes a couple of yards over.

A hit-and-hope long ball from Eric Dier towards Harry Kane tennis-ball bounces safely into Rudd's bread-basket. There's been very little to get excited about thus far, Lloris' save apart.

Spurs' first corner is easily cleared by the green-shirted defence, and a lovely touch from Kyle Walker to try to launch a second assault can't prompt any worries for Declan Rudd.

Birthday boy

Hugo Lloris turns 29 today. Birthdays at Christmas - it's a tricky one isn't it? Two presents? Just one mega-present? A card as well? What a dilemma.

GREAT SAVE!

Vadis Odjidja, who spent some time out on loan at Rotherham this season, tests birthday boy Hugo Lloris from 25 yards out. The Spurs keeper is up to it, diving to his left to palm a decent effort around his pot for a corner, which Norwich fail to trouble him with.

Cagey stuff to begin with, the ball hasn't traveled outside of the middle third opf the pitch that much. Highlight so far a neat backheel from behind him and over his own head by Nathan Redmond.

KICK-OFF

Here we go...

The teams emerge at an overcast White Hart Lane, exchange handshakes and are all set to get things going.

'A blockbuster Boxing Day mystery'

Jonathan Pearce

MOTD commentator at White Hart Lane

"There has traditionally been a blockbuster Boxing Day mystery on the TV schedules. This could be a riddle too. Which Tottenham will turn up? 

"The side so fluent in victory at Southampton and so capable of finishing in the top three at least? Or the team that threw away home points against Newcastle?  

"This starts a slippery run of festive fixtures. They must win this. But will they be over reliant again on Harry Kane? 

"Norwich have shown in the win at Man Utd and the draws against Everton and Arsenal that they will be defiant and durable. If they handle Kane, they can draw this."

Team news

Norwich bring in Youssouf MulumbuandVadis Odjidja-Ofoefor Gary O'Neil and Wes Hoolahan.

Team news

Spurs are unchanged from the side that beat Southampton 2-0 at St Mary's last time out.
