From the start of the match, the Londoners imposed their domination through their high pressing and their combination play. Richarlison particularly stood out on the left wing, multiplying the overflows and key passes. The Brazilian was behind Son’s opening goal after recovering from the opponent’s feet (36th).
In the second half, Tottenham maintained the pressure and quickly widened the gap through Maddison, served by Son (9th). Fulham barely worried the Spurs defense, which was well in place. Angelo Postecoglou then decided to give his managers a break by taking out Richarlison, Son and Maddison in the 36th minute. The London public gave the Brazilian a standing ovation.
🚨Tottenham Hotspur forward Richarlison has already equalled his goals and assist tally from the 22/23 Premier League season this season (4).
