There were echoes of England’s World Cup summer as Tottenham put a bad week behind them to claim victory over Fulham. Unfortunately for Spurs, playing like a side who finished fourth in Russia is not what Mauricio Pochettino is after.
A superb free-kick from Kieran Trippier and Harry Kane’s first Premier League goal in August turned the match in Tottenham’s favour after Aleksandar Mitrovic had cancelled out Lucas Moura’s first-half strike. For Pochettino this was not good enough and he demanded his side become more clinical if they are to become winners rather than just gallant runners-up.
