Tottenham Hotspur made it three wins in a row in Saturday's Premier League match, defeating Alton 2-1 at home with a goal each from Richarlison and Son Heung-min. Richard Leeson's goals were crucial, as he scored for the third consecutive game, totaling four goals, successfully shedding the label of "loser" and proving to the world that he has the ability to be Brazil's top scorer at the moment.
Tottenham's early-season resurgence broke the deadlock just nine minutes into the game, with Biran Johnson's precise cross from the right side of the pitch being easily headed in by Lee Cheah Lee Sum. Tottenham were on the attack and on 18 minutes Biran Johnson's shot from the right side of the box was saved by goalkeeper Bickford, but Son Heung-min was quick to add to his tally, taking the South Korean star's tally to 11 Premier League goals this season, more than his total in last season's league, and showing he is back to the level of the Premier League's top scorer of 2021/22. Ewarton finally broke their goal drought when substitute Anzu Gomes finally broke his goal drought in the 82nd minute, but that couldn't stop Tottenham's winning streak.
Tottenham Hotspur moved into fourth place in the table with a two-point advantage over Manchester City, who have played a game less. The 26-year-old Brazilian international has been transformed after scoring just one goal in 27 Premier League appearances last season, compared to five goals in 15 games this season.
