Happy with the 'MediSON' combination...Fostecoglue

Head coach Enze Postecoglou was delighted with the performances of Son Heung-min and James Maddison.

Tottenham Hotspur defeated Fulham 2-0 in the ninth round of the 2023-24 Premier League (PL) at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England, on Thursday morning (4:00 a.m. ET), extending Spurs' unbeaten run to three games and moving them to the top of the table with seven wins and two draws (23 points).

The goal came at the perfect time. Spurs were dominating the first half, but were struggling to find the back of the net. That's when Son Heung-min stepped up to the plate. In the 36th minute, Heung-min rattled the net with a spectacular curling kick from the penalty box after being set up by a pass from Hischalisson. Then, in the second half, Fulham were coming on strong, and Maddison broke the deadlock. In the ninth minute of stoppage time, after receiving a through ball from Son Heung-min, Madison beat the far post with a calm finish in front of goal.

"It was a good result," Postecoglou told Sky Sports after the game. Fulham are a tough team to break down, but we coped pretty well in the first half. I think we should have scored the second and third goals because we had chances. The second half was not good. We didn't play anywhere near the level we are capable of, it was our worst possession battle of the season and really wasteful. We still have a lot of work to do." 바카라사이트 

He did, however, praise Son and Madison. "Heung-min and Madison played really well today," Postecoglou said. I think the pressure we put on them was the key to our victory. Sometimes it takes a lot of hard work and persistence, and it was those breakthroughs that allowed us to score the two goals."

Son Heung-min and Maddison continue to provide the goals for Tottenham. Son has produced a hat-trick against Burnley, a multi-goal performance against Arsenal, a goal against Liverpool, and a goal and an assist against Fulham this season. Maddison has two assists against Brentford, one against Bournemouth, one against Burnley, two against Arsenal, one against Luton, and one against Fulham. He has seven goals and one assist, three goals and five assists, respectively.

Fulham is by no means an easy opponent. They lost their last meeting in the EFL Cup and had a decent record of three wins, two draws, and three losses before the Tottenham game. In this situation, the 'MediSON' combination gave the team three points.
