Son Fuels Tottenham 'Dreams' To Open Up Five-Point Premier League Lead

28.10.2023 - 13:17 sports.ndtv.com

Ange Postecoglou told Tottenham fans to dream after his side moved five points clear at the top of the Premier League for the first time.

The Australian's 26 points from his opening 10 games in charge is the best return of any new manager in Premier League history.

After a subdued first 45 minutes, Spurs sprang into life early in the second-half as Joel Ward's own goal and Son Heung-min's strike earned the victory.

Jordan Ayew pulled a goal back in stoppage time, but it was too little, too late for the Eagles. Not since Spurs last won the league in 1960-61 have they enjoyed such an advantage at the summit of the English top flight.

Jackson treble fires Chelsea to chaotic victory over nine-man Spurs

LONDON: Chelsea ended nine-man Tottenham’s unbeaten start to the Premier League season as Nicolas Jackson’s hat-trick inspired a 4-1 win in a chaotic clash filled with VAR drama on Monday. Blues boss Mauricio Pochettino was able to savour a sweet victory over Tottenham on his first return to the club since his sacking in 2019. But the Argentine’s revenge mission was overshadowed by an incredible litany of controversial incidents including red cards for Tottenham duo Cristian Romero and Destiny Udogie. Dejan Kulusevski had given Tottenham an early lead, but Romero was dismissed for a foul that led to Cole Palmer’s equalizer from the penalty spot before half-time. Referee Michael Oliver and the over-worked VAR officials sent off Udogie soon after the break for his second booking. Both teams had goals disallowed by VAR, while Tottenham’s misfortune also included losing England playmaker James Maddison and Dutch defender Micky van de Ven to first-half injuries. Chelsea finally made the most of their numerical advantage when Senegal striker Jackson netted three times in the closing stages to hand Tottenham their first defeat in 11 league games. Ange Postecoglou’s team remain in second place, one point behind leaders Manchester City, while Chelsea moved up to 10th place after their first win in three league games. “There will be a forensic study of every decision out there, I think that is the way the game is going and I don’t like it,” Postecoglou said. “If you look at all that standing around we did today, maybe people enjoy that sort of thing but I’d rather see us playing football.” Pochettino was given a largely warm reception by Tottenham fans in recognition of a five-year reign that included taking them to their maiden
