Who was Man Of The Match? Heung-Min Son
Tottenham aimed for their 300th top-flight home win and today they reached that landmark with a 1-0 win against Watford as Son shone. On what would be his 200th Premier League appearance for Spurs, Heung-Min Son gave his side a Man Of The Match worthy performance to send them top of the table for the international break; he became the first Asian player to achieve this landmark top-flight appearances.
The win saw Nuno Espirito Santo become the second Spurs coach in history to win his opening 3 league games in command. What a way to win over the spurs fans, Arthur Rowe was the first to accomplish in the distant 1949. Spurs are yet to concede a goal this season and have remained unbeaten in the Premier League.
