Sheffield’s best chance of the match came in the 36th minute through David McGoldrick who was set up Norwood, only to whip his effort towards Eric Dier.
Despite their dominance, Spurs had to wait until the 40th minute to double their advantage via Harry Kane who picked out the bottom corner to fire into the net from 20 yards.
McGoldrick made amends to his earlier miss shortly into the second half, drawing one back for his side after he flicked the ball into the corner to make it 2-1.
Aware of the imminent danger, the visitors quickly responded by restoring their two-goal advantage through Tanguy Ndombele who was picked brilliantly by Berwijn.
The match eventually finished 3-1 in favour of Jose Mourinho’s men, with the three points momentarily lifting them to fourth on standings with 33 points.
Sheffield, meanwhile, remain rock bottom of the charts and look well in line to be relegated.
