Sir Bobby Charlton: Premier League managers pay tribute as England World Cup winner dies at 86

Tottenham’s best start to a top-flight season for more 60 years got even better as a 2-0 home win over Fulham sent them two points clear at the Premier League summit on Monday.

Captain Son Heung-min’s seventh league goal of the campaign and James Maddison’s first home strike for the club secured a seventh win in nine league games.

Son curled a right-foot effort into the top corner in the 36th minute and then set up playmaker Maddison to score with a cool finish in the 54th.

Unbeaten in the league under new manager Ange Postecoglou, Spurs have 23 points, two more than champions Manchester City and local rivals Arsenal.

A slight pause in play as Richarlison and Wilson both take a tumble after a collision but the pair are back up on their feet now and play can continue.

Despite having less possession this half, Spurs have done an excellent job of controlling the tempo since going two goals ahead. Fulham have barely threatened to get back into the game since conceding that Maddison goal.

CLOSE! Bassey is almost punished for a third time this game as a heavy touch allows Maddison to sneak in and nick the ball inside the area. The defence recovers for block his eventual effort before Richarlison blazes over from a tight angle.
