LONDON (Reuters) -Tottenham Hotspur blew away the gloom of a demoralising 10 days as Harry Kane's double helped them to a 3-1 defeat of Nottingham Forest to cement fourth spot in the Premier League on Saturday.

Given a pre-match boost by Bournemouth's earlier shock win over fifth-placed Liverpool, Tottenham took full advantage to get their stalling season back on the rails.
