Leeds started the stronger and Ezgjan Alioski hit the side-netting in the fourth minute.
Kane opened the scoring for Spurs on 29 minutes with a penalty, when Alioski fouled Steven Bergwijn on the edge of the area.
Leeds dominated possession in the first half and hoped for a comeback in the second half but Spurs crushed their hopes with Toby Alderweireld’s header in the 50th minute.
Son scored second goal for Spurs in the 43rd minute, it’s his 100th goal in all competitions for Spurs.
Kane and Son now combined have 13 Premier League goals this term, which equals the record set by Blackburn’s Alan Shearer and Chris Sutton in 1994-95.
“Harry and I have been working together a long time so we understand each other really well,” Son said after the game.

Toby Alderweireld nailed the win for Spurs with a header from Son’s corner with five minutes into the second half.
Matt Doherty’s late Tackle earned him a second yellow card and he was sent off.
“We created a lot of chances and got a clean sheet, it’s a fantastic start to the new year. I couldn’t wait [to score his 100th goal for Spurs] and I’m very happy and very grateful for my teammates who supported me early on.” Son said after the game.
"To have scored 100 goals with you guys here would have been the best feeling ever, but I want to say thank you!"
