Recap

The dream lives on for Spurs as the north London club fight to claim their first-ever Premier League crown.

Kane and Dele Alli have been the central focus for Tottenham since they became realistic challengers for the title, and the pair were once again Spurs' winners against Villa.

The young midfielder twice assisted the prolific front man as the visitors claimed their 16th win of the league campaign, and they now sit six points clear of Arsenal as the games quickly begin to run out.

Kane, 22, was on target shortly before the break as 19-year-old Alli's quick thinking fed the striker from a swiftly taken free-kick.

The Englishmen combined again only three minutes into the second half; Alli's low cross found Kane, and the goal king made sure of the points as Villa faltered.

Manager Remi Garde's outfit offered little in way of resistance in the second half, and Spurs' procession to victory never looked in doubt. 

Presenter Gary Lineker hailed his former club's magnificent duo:

Manchester City once again dropped points in their title escapades as they played out a goalless draw against Norwich City at Carrow Road on Saturday.

The Sky Blues looked a constant menace against their hosts, but the attacking power of Sergio Aguero and David Silva wasn't enough to bag the win.

Canaries goalkeeper John Ruddy was in fine form as he earned a deserved clean sheet, but City might now be forced to solely focus on the Champions League, as Leicester could go 12 points clear of them on Monday night.

The weekend's schedule was reduced because of the FA Cup quarter-finals taking place, but there were vital wins for south-coast clubs as Bournemouth and Southampton were victorious on Saturday.

BOURNEMOUTH, ENGLAND - MARCH 12:  Steve Cook (C) of Bournemouth celebrates scoring his team's third goal with his team mates during the Barclays Premier League match between A.F.C. Bournemouth and Swansea City at Vitality Stadium on March 12, 2016 in Bour

The Cherries defeated Swansea City 3-2 at home, and the Saints beat Stoke City 2-1 on their travels.

Steve Cook headed in late on to clinch the win for Bournemouth after the Swans had twice equalised against manager Eddie Howe's men. 

Graziano Pelle brace was enough for Southampton as they earned the victory despite the Potters fighting back in the second half. 

No pundit would have predicted at the start of the season just how important Leicester's match against Newcastle would be at the climax of the campaign, but the Foxes will take an almighty leap to the title if they can defeat manager Rafael Benitez's new side.

The Spanish coach takes charge of his first game, returning to the Premier League after losing his job at Real Madrid, and Leicester will be praying he doesn't have an immediate impact on Monday.

Neutrals want to see manager Claudio Ranieri's team lift the trophy at the end of the season, but it is vital they claim maximum points against lowly sides such as Newcastle.

Tottenham lie in wait for the Foxes to slip up, and their form dictates they will strike fast if they smell blood in the coming weeks, as Kane and Alli prove to be two of Europe's best young players and future superstars.
