Tottenham hung on to claim a 1-0 win over a Fulham side who may count themselves unlucky not to get anything out of the game.

Spurs took the lead in the first half, but made hard work of keeping hold of it. Fulham even had a goal disallowed by VAR, denying them a share of the spoils.

Jose Mourinho handed a first Premier League start since the opening day to Spurs midfielder Dele Alli. Gareth Bale was also among the starters, with Harry Kane and Son Heung-min completing a star-studded front four.

The attacking quartet began to click, with Son setting up Bale for an early chance. However, the Wales forward was offside anyway.

Three of the front four combined to give Tottenham the lead a few minutes later. Bale sent Alli through, with the midfielder sending the ball to Son before getting it back and flicking it towards goal.

The ball deflected off Fulham defender Tosin Adarabioyo and went in as an own goal to make it 1-0 after 19 minutes.

Fulham had the last chance of the half, with Antonee Robinson creating danger from the left flank. He set up Josh Maja, who teed it up for Mario Lemina – but the midfielder could only shoot over.
