Tottenham coach breaks Premier League record history

Australian Ange Postecoglou is the first manager in Premier League history to win 23+ points from his first nine games in charge in the competition after Spurs defeated Fulham, 2-0 at the end of the ninth round of the competition. Tottenham surged to the top of the Premier League as Son Heung-min and James Maddison sealed a 2-0 win against Fulham on Tuesday morning. Ange Postecoglou’s side extended their unbeaten start to nine league games thanks to Son’s opener and Maddison’s first goal at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium since his close-season move from Leicester. Opta network reported that Ange Postecoglou earned 23 points in his first nine matches in the English Premier League with Tottenham (7 wins, 2 draws), which is the most of any coach in the first nine matches in the history of the competition.
