When Tottenham play like this, overwhelming the opposition with their energy, desire and creativity, it does not feel outlandish to suggest that they will soon be seen as genuine title challengers. Perhaps there will come a time when a light squad runs out of steam and the natural order resumes. Yet there is no stopping Spurs at the moment and, after they moved back to the top of the Premier League with this win over a toothless Fulham, the scenes that followed made it tempting to conclude that anything is possible under Ange Postecoglou.
Spurs, who remain unbeaten, are not just a team transformed by Postecoglou; they are a club transformed. The supporters have totally bought into the Australian and were bellowing his name into the north London sky long after the final whistle, having earlier swooned at the commanding defending of Micky van de Ven and the way those sparkling goalscoring bursts from Son Heung-min and James Maddison are making up for the loss of Harry Kane.
