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.
A title challenge still appears a remote possibility, but with no European football to sap their energy, the sky may be the limit for Postecoglou’s men. Goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario has been one of the unsung heroes of Spurs’ form and the Italian was needed to make a smart stop low to his left to prevent Odsonne Edouard opening the scoring inside the opening 10 minutes.
The former Nottingham Forest winger was on the pitch just two minutes before he collected Maddison’s pass and crossed for Son to tap home his eighth goal of the season.
