Son Heung-min sent Tottenham to the top of the Premier League as the South Korean’s free-kick clinched a 1-0 win against Watford, while Mason Greenwood’s late strike fired Manchester United to a record-breaking 1-0 victory at Wolves.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s side have made a flawless start to the new domestic season and they sit two points clear of second-placed West Ham after a third successive victory.
Three consecutive 1-0 wins, including one against Premier League champions Manchester City, as well as progress in the Europa Conference League, suggest Tottenham could enjoy a better season than expected.
At Molineux, Manchester United set an English top-flight record for unbeaten away league games in their first match since agreeing a blockbuster deal to sign Cristiano Ronaldo from Juventus.
Portugal star Ronaldo, who will return to United 12 years after leaving to join Real Madrid, was not available to make his second club debut this weekend as he waits to officially complete the move.
While Ronaldo waits in the wings, unbeaten United had Greenwood to thank for their second win in three matches.
United have now gone 28 successive away league games without defeat, passing the mark they shared with Arsenal.
Solskjaer’s team were indebted to David De Gea for a superb double save that kept the score level before Greenwood’s winner.
Greenwood made Wolves pay for that miss in the 80th minute when he took Raphael Varane’s pass and hit a low shot that flashed under keeper Jose Sa.
United climbed to third place, while Wolves remained pointless and goalless under new boss Bruno Lage.
