Manchester United returned to within two points of the Premier League summit after condemning Tottenham to their first home defeat since August.
Tottenham dominated large parts of the game but were lacking in creativity and, when given the opportunities, United were simply devastating.
Spurs thought they had taken the lead when Louis Saha's shot flew in off Emmanuel Adebayor but referee Martin Atkinson ruled it out for a handball.
Wayne Rooney rose to nod home an Ashley Young corner on the stroke of half-time and the former Aston Villa man then went on to add two in the second half - the first an acrobatic scissor kick and the second a world-class curler from outside the area.
Jermain Defoe pulled one back for the hosts with three minutes left.
Pavel Pogrebnyak's superb start to life at Fulham continued as he netted a hat-trick in today's 5-0 thrashing of struggling Wolves.
Having scored in his previous two appearances, Pogrebnyak improved his already dramatic impact with a fine treble.
Clint Dempsey was also in good touch, adding a second-half brace to leave Wolves third from bottom on goal difference.
Shola Ameobi enhanced his reputation as a Tyne-Wear derby hero after coming off the bench to secure a 1-1 draw for Newcastle against Sunderland.
The Nigerian-born striker stabbed home his seventh goal in the fixture a minute into injury-time to let leading scorer Demba Ba off the hook after he had seen an 83rd-minute penalty brilliantly saved by Simon Mignolet.
The Black Cats, who were reduced to 10 men when Stephane Sessegnon was dismissed after 58 minutes and had skipper Lee Cattermole sent off after the final whistle, had taken a 24th-minute lead through Nicklas Bendtner's penalty.
