Tottenham Beats Fulham 2-0

Newzdaddy Football Updates

Tottenham’s Son Heung-min was the star of the show as his team beat Fulham 2-0, taking them to the top of the Premier League. Son’s fantastic play and a crucial assist proved that Tottenham can do well without Harry Kane, who left the team this season. Son, now playing as the team’s centre forward, has been in terrific form.

Both of Tottenham’s goals in the match were a result of mistakes by Fulham’s Calvin Bassey, who lost possession while trying to pass from the back. Son played a significant role in both goals.

In the 36th minute, Son received a pass from Richarlison after Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg intercepted Bassey’s clearance. With skillful footwork, Son evaded defenders and scored from the edge of the area.

The second goal, in the 54th minute, came in a similar way. Hojbjerg stopped Bassey’s pass again, and Son’s quick pass set up James Maddison to score.

Tottenham’s manager, Ange Postecoglou, praised the team’s defensive work, which he believed won them the game. With this victory, Tottenham returned to the top of the league, retaining their two-point lead. They are unbeaten in nine games, just like their North London rivals, Arsenal.

Harry Kane has been scoring goals for Bayern Munich in Germany, but Son has been Tottenham’s go-to scorer since moving to the centre-forward position. He’s scored seven goals, the same as Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah and just two behind the league’s top scorer, Erling Haaland of Manchester City.

Maddison, who joined Tottenham from Leicester, also made a mark by scoring his first home goal for the team. Fulham’s Tim Ream pointed out that giving the ball away in dangerous areas cost them the game.

This win puts Tottenham in a strong position, and fans have a lot to look forward to as the season progresses.
