Harry Kane capped another prolific season with a second hat-trick in four days to secure the golden boot for the second successive season as Tottenham demolished relegated Hull 7-1.
The England striker fired four in Tottenham's 6-1 thrashing of fallen champions Leicester on Thursday to overtake Everton's Romelu Lukaku in the Premier League scoring charts and struck three more to take his tally to 29 for the season as Hull were torn apart.
Kane scored twice in the first half and completed his hat-trick midway through the second period, with Mauricio Pochettino's side celebrating their best top-flight finish since 1963 in fine style.
Two goals from Kane in the opening 13 minutes swept Tottenham in front and Dele Alli put the game to bed on the stroke of half-time.
Although Sam Clucas pulled one back for Hull midway through the second period, Victor Wanyama, Kane, Ben Davies' thunderbolt and Toby Alderweireld turned the final game of the season into a rout.
In the 11th minute when Josh Tymon's under-hit pass was intercepted by Christian Eriksen. There appeared little danger when the Danish midfielder slipped the ball to 23-year-old Kane in a central position just outside the penalty area, but the striker took one step and crashed a low left-footed shot into the bottom corner.
