<p>Kane and his team-mates showed no signs of fatigue playing their third game in five days and put the Israeli side to the sword, with a Giovani Lo Celso brace, Lucas Moura’s header and a Dele Alli penalty adding to the striker’s treble.</p>
<p>There is something fitting about the final scoreline as it came exactly one year to the day that they were beaten 7-2 by Bayern Munich in last season’s Champions League.</p>

<p>They will now rest ahead of Sunday’s Premier League trip to Manchester United, which concludes a hectic schedule, while also waiting to see who they are drawn against in the group stage.</p>
<p>Jose Mourinho’s men appeared to come through unscathed and the Portuguese also had no problems in giving Kane 73 minutes, despite his complaints over player welfare.</p>
<p>Maccabi Haifa never really posed a threat, though did level at 1-1 through a fine Tjaronn Chery strike, while Nikita Rukavytsya struck a second-half penalty.</p>
<p>Spurs were back in action 48 hours after beating Chelsea on penalties in the Carabao Cup, but only Toby Alderweireld and Steven Bergwijn were named in both starting XIs.</p>
<p>Kane played the final 20 minutes against the Blues, but he was still fresh and needed only 93 seconds to prove it as he put Spurs ahead.</p>
<p>Ben Davies was played in down the left and he fired a ball across goal that Kane simply could not miss from inside the six-yard box.</p>
<p>If Spurs thought they were going to have it all their own way, then Chery quickly gave them other ideas as he forced Joe Hart into a flying save with an effort from distance.</p>
<p>He soon found his range, though, and brought Haifa level in the 17th minute with a brilliant strike, this time on his left foot, sending a swerving effort into the top corner.</p>
<p>That was as good as it got for the Israeli side, however, as the hosts needed four minutes to regain the lead.</p>
<p>Moura was not tracked as he darted to the front post at Steven Bergwijn’s corner and his glancing header found the far post.</p>
<p>Spurs were cruising and opened up a two-goal lead in the 37th minute when Lo Celso scored his first goal of the season as he curled home after Moura had a header blocked.</p>
<p>Three minutes later it got even better for Lo Celso as he coolly clipped home after being played in by Kane to give his side a 4-1 half-time lead.</p>
<p>As if the game was not action-packed enough, there were two highly questionable penalties for handball in the space of four minutes.</p>
<p>First the ball hit Matt Doherty’s arm at point-blank range allowing Haifa to make it 4-2 when Rukavytsya converted, and then Kane restored Tottenham’s three-goal lead after a Davies cross was slammed into Ernest Mabouka’s arm.</p>
<p>Kane completed his hat-trick in the 74th minute with a trademark cute finish, but Bergwijn deserves the credit as he made it with a sublime piece of skill which left his marker for dead and an inch-perfect throughball.</p>
<p>With Mourinho considering the job done he withdrew Kane immediately, but Spurs still found the net again.</p>
<p>Alli, brought on as a second-half substitute, converted a penalty that he had won with an excellent piece of skill at the death.</p>
