Defoe strengthens his England inclusion

Jermain Defoe scored a hat trick as Spurs took apart Hull. The other goals came from Wilson Palacios, already an indispensable figure in midfield and Robbie Keane. Aaron Lennon assisted in two goals, Robbie Keane in two more, and Tom Huddlestone had a hand in the opening goal by Defoe.

Luka Modric provided the pacesetting and the deft touches.
