(Reuters) - England striker Harry Kane scored a clinical first-half hat-trick in 23 minutes as Tottenham Hotspur rebounded from their midweek European disappointment to overwhelm Stoke City 4-0 on Sunday. Kane put the home team ahead in the 14th minute with his 100th goal in club football, with 84 of them coming for Spurs. Mid-table Stoke, in contrast, derived no benefit from having had 15 days without a game and were outplayed throughout. Eriksen next teed up a free kick for the striker, whose shot went in off a defender. The goal was credited to Kane, who then did brilliantly on the right flank just before halftime, setting up Alli to score.
