Antonio Conte's two new devastating Tottenham partnerships and the unsung hero of Fulham victory

Three points and a better performance

Previously getting the points but maybe lacking the performance, things came together for Antonio Conte's Tottenham side on Saturday afternoon after they secured a 2-1 victory over Fulham. Apart from the opening day win over Southampton, Spurs have often been second best on the pitch and that has left fans extremely frustrated given the players they have at their disposal.

Having needed Ryan Sessegnon to utilise his pace and nip in to stop Andreas Pereira getting his shot away inside the first three minutes, Tottenham burst into life after that and controlled proceedings. Harry Kane was at the heart of things and he forced Bernd Leno into a low save after a sharp turn on the edge of the box to lose his marker.
