Tottenham Hotspur returned to the top of the Premier League as goals from Son Heung-min and James Maddison comfortably saw off Fulham.<\/p>\n
Spurs had only dropped points this season in London derbies \u2013 against Arsenal and Brentford \u2013 but they were always in control against a limited Fulham side.<\/p>\n
Captain Son curled in an excellent goal in the 36th minute after Calvin Bassey\u2019s poor pass was cut out by Micky van de Ven.<\/p>\n

Maddison doubled the lead in the second half with an almost identical goal, as another Bassey pass was cut out and the England playmaker was teed up by Son to slot home confidently.<\/p>\n
Fulham went closest when Joao Palhinha forced Guglielmo Vicario into an impressive stop with a header from a corner.<\/p>\n
Tottenham have made an impressive start to life under Ange Postecoglou and they began the game with the air of a team full of confidence.<\/p>\n
Richarlison curled a shot wide when he should have done better after he was set up by Dejan Kulusevski, but Son soon curled in the opener for his seventh goal of the season.<\/p>\n
Tottenham could have made it 2-0 before half-time but Kulusevski\u2019s effort was blocked from close range after some excellent play involving Maddison, Son and Destiny Udogie.<\/p>\n
Fulham caused Tottenham problems on the counter attack at times but could not make Spurs pay before Maddison\u2019s goal secured the win to move Spurs two points clear of Manchester City at the top of the league.<\/p>\n
