On the back of a brilliant start to life under Ange Postecoglou, Tottenham Hotspur resume Premier League duties at home to Sheffield United on Saturday afternoon.
The Lilywhites demolished newly-promoted Burnley 5-2 just before the international break, while the Blades picked up their first point in a 2-2 draw at home to Everton.
However, Son Heung-min's delicate chip and a Cristian Romero thunderbolt turned the game on its head before the break, and the former completed a heroic hat-trick in the second half after the effervescent James Maddison had picked out the bottom corner with aplomb.
Josh Brownhill doubled Burnley's tally for the afternoon with seconds remaining, but there was no raining on the Tottenham parade as Spurs made it 10 points from a possible 12 in the 2023-24 Premier League season, cementing a second-placed standing in the table as a result.
Having scored at least two goals in all of their Premier League games under Postecoglou so far - 11 in total to be exact - Tottenham have only been bested on the points tally by Manchester City, while Brighton & Hove Albion are the sole team to net more times than the Lilywhites with 12 efforts to their name.
