Tottenham's Son Heung-min scored for the second straight game to extend his side's unbeaten start to the season to 10 games. Tottenham fans were thrilled as the team accelerated its lead.
Son Heung-min scored a 21st-minute winner in the 10th round of the 2023-2024 English Premier League (EPL) away match against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park in London, England, on Aug. 28 to secure a 2-1 victory.
Son scored his eighth goal of the season as Spurs improved to 8-2-2 (26 points), five points clear of the second-place group.
"Tottenham took 30 points from their opening 10 games in the 1960-61 season and went on to win the title," said Vivisi from England. Spurs fans are beginning to dream of a title challenge this season, even if it's too early to tell." 카지노사이트
Son Heung-min, who has been in charge of Tottenham's frontline since the departure of Harry Kane (Bayern Munich), was once again at the center of Spurs' late surge. Central midfielder James Maddison, along with the left flankers Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Dejan Koulousevski, pushed the Spurs attack forward.
Tottenham took the lead in the eighth minute of the second half when Maddison's cross found a Crystal Palace player for an own goal.
Maddison's pass and Brennan Johnson's cutback came to fruition in the 21st minute when Son Heung-min found the back of the net through his toes.
Spurs pulled one back in stoppage time through Crystal Palace's Jordan Ayew, but managed to hold on for the win.
It was Son's second consecutive game with a goal, following his midweek performance against Fulham, and he was named man of the match.
"I'm an experienced player, so I can't guarantee that we will win the league. It's still early in the season, so I want to stay focused on the pitch and stay humble."
Tottenham manager Anzhi Postecoglou was also cautious, saying that "every week is a new challenge".
However, England's Vivissi said that past statistics suggest that Spurs' title challenge is not a foregone conclusion. "Spurs are the 13th team in Premier League history to win 26 points or more in their first 10 games," he said. Eleven of the previous 12 teams finished in the top three and six went on to win the title."
Former United defender Gary Neville said: "It's a fantastic start that no one could have predicted. And it's unthinkable with Kane gone. Tottenham fans can enjoy it. But there's a long way to go."
