A double from Son Heung-min, Dele Alli and Harry Kane’s first Premier League goal of the season saw Spurs repeat the emphatic scoreline they achieved in the corresponding fixture last term.

“There’s a buzz about this one and coming off the back of a 4-0 win you can’t ask for much more”, he said.
It might have been so different for Stoke, who now sit bottom of the table without a win in four.
Tottenham drew their opening day game against Everton, then won their first game in the season against Crystal Palace.
But most spectators had already spotted an offside flag that halted the Austrian’s celebrations in their tracks.
“Tottenham found this fixture quite easy past year, winning 4-0 at the Bet365 Stadium, and though I don’t see it being as easy this time, Spurs need to start a winning run in order to stay with the pack at the top of the Premier League”. Marko Arnautovic had the ball in the net, only to be ruled offside, before Glenn Whelan’s stunning first-time volley was deflected wide by Toby Alderweireld’s head.
Most recently, he replaced Harry Kane in the 83rd minute of Tottenham’s 1-1 draw with Liverpool the weekend before last.
Arsenal gave debuts to late transfer window signings in Shkodran Mustafi and Lucas Perez, acquired from La Liga clubs Valencia and Deportivo La Coruna respectively for a combined £52 million ($69 million, 61 million euros). “I need to take it step by step but my feeling is great”.

With Hughes absent from the touchline for the entirety of the second half, Tottenham continued to move up the gears, picking the hosts off at will as Son expertly curled in both his and Tottenham’s second, once again following good build up play involving Eriksen.
The “old” Wembley was also used by Arsenal for Champions League games in 1998 and 1999 and they hardly made it a fortress, winning twice, losing three times and drawing once before abandoning the experiment. He was also dropped from England’s starting XI by new manager Sam Allardyce, though he did come on as a substitute against Slovakia. You know how he is because last season he was in Newcastle and in the Euros he was fantastic.
This is all excellent news for Tottenham, but Stoke have completely collapsed.

He said: “Yes. After our performance and our victory – it was a fantastic 4-0 – we all believed it would be possible to win the league, yes”.
