Ange Postecoglou has set a new record for the most points earned by a manager in their first nine Premier League matches (23) after his Tottenham Hotspur team won 2-0 against Fulham on Monday night.
The Spurs boss' tally surpassed the previous record of 22 points jointly held by Mike Walker and Guus Hiddink from their first nine matches in charge of Norwich City (1992-93 season) and Chelsea (2008-09 season), respectively.
The 2-0 win over Fulham showed once again that Tottenham can thrive without the departed Kane this season.
Especially with Son, the player who has replaced Kane as the team's center forward, in such prolific form.
Both of Tottenham's goals came from the same source — Fulham defender Calvin Bassey giving away possession when passing out from the back under pressure — and Son had a key role in each of them.

Despite Postecoglou's frustrations, this is the furthest into a Premier League season that Spurs have been top of the league since Dec. 15, 2020 (top after 12 PL games under José Mourinho).
Postecoglou left Celtic to manage Spurs in the summer and is still yet to taste defeat in the league with his new side.
The Spurs head coach has breathed new life into Tottenham when they were at a low ebb after their eighth place finish in the league last season meant they failed to qualify for European football for the first time since 2009.
Tottenham's start to the season is their best since the 1960-61 season when they started the campaign with 11 straight wins on their way to winning the league title.
