Son Heung-min was the table-toppers’ other star performer on a remarkably comfortable day at the office
It’s rare that a transfer is a perfect fit for both parties. However, in James Maddison, Tottenham possess the ideal poster boy for Ange Postecoglou’s footballing revolution. Maddison himself is thoroughly enjoying it in North London too, and he provided further evidence of his genius in Tottenham’s 2-0 win over Fulham on Monday evening.
Calvin Bassey was the guilty party, passing straight down Micky van der Ven’s throat, with the ball eventually finding Son Heung-min unmarked in the box – who was hardly going to miss in his current form. Son would turn provider early in the second half, teeing up the talisman, Maddison, for a deserved first goal in front of his home fans
combination of good goalkeeping, heroic defending and poor finishing meant those would be the only two goals Spurs scored, but the result never looked in jeopardy.
The Postecoglou hype train trundles on for another week, with the three points returning Tottenham back to the top of the Premier League table. They can even go five points clear if they beat Crystal Palace on Friday.
Here’s how Spurs’ players rated from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
