Tottenham have qualified for next season’s Champions League after a 5-0 win at already-relegated Norwich secured fourth place ahead of Arsenal.
Tottenham started the final day fourth in the table knowing they only needed a draw to qualify for European football’s elite club competition.
But Antonio Conte’s side eased to a comfortable win at Carrow Road as Heung-Min Son scored twice in the second half to share the Golden Boot with Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah as they both finished on 23 goals.
Dejan Kulusevski also scored twice either side of Harry Kane’s header to ensure Tottenham will return to the Champions League for the first time since the 2019/20 campaign.
The win over the Premier League’s bottom side means Tottenham finished two points above north London rivals Arsenal.
Any final-day nerves for Spurs were eased in the 16th minute as Kulusevski gave the visitors the lead.
Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg’s clipped ball played in Rodrigo Bentancur, who beat the offside trap to race in on goal and square for Kulusevski to tap in from close range.
The home side came close to equalising but Milot Rashica’s low shot went wide of Hugo Lloris’ post, with the Kosovan’s effort Norwich’s best chance of the match.
Kane then made it 2-0 to Spurs in the 32nd minute thanks to a mistake from Norwich goalkeeper Tim Krul.
Trying to play out from the back, the Dutchman hit his pass straight to Bentancur, who crossed for an unmarked Kane to nod home into an empty net.
In the 64th minute, Spurs made the game safe as Kulusevski scored his second with a stunning strike.
Set free by Kane, he outmuscled Dimitris Giannoulis and then curled a sensational left-footed shot into the far corner.
Son then drew level with Mohamad Salah in the Golden Boot race on 22 goals in the 70th minute, as he struck a low finish past Krul from a clever first-time ball from substitute Lucas Moura.
The South Korean went one clear of Salah five minutes later with a sublime finish from outside the box but the Liverpool forward scored at Anfield against Wolves shortly after to ensure the award was shared.
But Salah’s late goal was the only blemish on a fine afternoon for Spurs who ran riot at Norwich to return to the Champions League after two seasons away, with the future looking bright under Antonio Conte.
