PL icon’s big Ange call as ‘inspired’ $79m signing stuns, Spurs soar to top of table
Tottenham’s bright start under Ange Postecoglou continued as James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski struck in a 2-0 win at Bournemouth to go top of the Premier League on Saturday.
But Bournemouth looked the more likely to score in the second period before Kulusevski steered Destiny Udogie’s cross into the far corner just after the hour mark.Maddison had been a doubt after leaving the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium after last weekend’s 2-0 win over Manchester United in a protective boot.
As Maddison shines, Richarlison is struggling to fill the boots of Kane. The Brazilian striker had another frustrating afternoon before being replaced after an hour. Antoine Semenyo came closest to an equaliser with a curling effort from outside the box that hit the side-netting.Instead it was Tottenham who got the all-important second goal thanks to another fresh face making a strong start to the new season.
Udogie surged forward, exchanging a one-two with Son Heung-min, before pulling the ball back for Kulusevski to finish.
