Tottenham Hotspur vs Fulham LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
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 good burst from Castagne down the right side, but his cross into the box is slightly behind Vinicius and the Brazilian can't generate the right angle from the header as the ball drifts out for a goal kick.
