| Jermain Defoe hit a superb hat-trick as Tottenham went top of the
Barclays Premier League with a resounding 5-1 win at Hull.
Defoe and Wilson Palacios both struck in the opening 14 minutes
as Tottenham began brilliantly at the KC Stadium.
Stephen Hunt gave Hull hope when his cross from a free-kick bounced
in, but Defoe scored again on the stroke of half-time and then once
more in the last minute after a Robbie Keane headed goal.
Tottenham now have a 100% record after two games for only the second
time in 14 years, while Hull have not won in the Premier League
since March, a run stretching back 12 games.
