Stars Son Heung Min and James Maddison Shine as Tottenham Overcome Manchester City to Take Top Spot. In the final match of Premier League’s 2023/24 Matchday 9, Tottenham secured a 2-0 victory over Fulham, with star players Son Heung Min delivering a goal and an assist.

Heading into the game against Fulham, Tottenham needed a win to reclaim the top spot they had lost to Manchester City a day earlier. With a clear objective in mind, Spurs quickly went on the оffensive from the opening whistle. However, Fulham’s deep-lying defense posed a challenge for Tottenham. It wasn’t until the 36th minute that the deadlock was broken, thanks to an error by the opposition.

Tottenham intercepted a poor clearance by defender Calvin Bassey. Richarlison then set up Son, who unleashed a dangerous shot from within the 18-yard box, finding the top corner of the net to open the scoring. Buoyed by the goal, Tottenham continued to launch strong attacks. In the 54th minute, a similar sequence unfolded. Spurs pressed high, forcing Bassey to clear the ball. Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg intercepted the clearance and fed Son, who then provided an assist to James Maddison, enabling him to calmly slot the ball into the far corner, doubling the lead.

In the subsequent period, Tottenham created several more opportunities, but unfortunately, the finishing touches from players like Richarlison and Dejan Kulusevski lacked the required sharpness to convert them into goals. On the other hand, Fulham’s best chance came in the 83rd minute when Raul Jimenez unleashed a powerful angled shot from inside the box, forcing goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario to make a save.

Ultimately, Tottenham emerged as 2-0 winners against Fulham in the final match of Premier League’s Matchday 9. This marks Spurs’ third consecutive victory in the English top-flight this season, and alongside Arsenal, they maintain an unbeaten record since the beginning of the campaign. More importantly, this win helped Tottenham reclaim the top spot they had lost to Manchester City just a day earlier. Under the guidance of manager Ange Postecoglou, the team now sits on 23 points, two points ahead of second-placed City. In Matchday 10, Spurs will visit Crystal Palace as the away side on October 28th at 02:00 AM.
