Tottenham Hotspur returned to the top of the Premier League, as goals from Son Heung-min and James Maddison comfortably saw off Fulham.
Spurs had only dropped points this season in London derbies – against Arsenal and Brentford – but they were always in control against a limited Fulham side.
Captain Son curled in an excellent goal in the 36th minute after Calvin Bassey’s poor pass was cut out by Micky van de Ven.
Maddison doubled the lead in the second half with an almost identical goal, as another Bassey pass was cut out and the England playmaker was teed up by Son to slot home confidently. Tottenham have made an impressive start to life under Ange Postecoglou and they began yesterday’s game with the air of a team full of confidence.
