Son shot wide and Davinson Sanchez headed before Tottenham took the lead in the 42nd minute.

It was the second goal of the section of the season after the winner of the forward against Manchester City on the opening weekend.
Regulated by Kane’s Pass, Dele Alli should have doubled the advantage, but the midfielder struck wide from close range.
Kane was rejected by Bachmann which was fine in the closing stage but Tottenham had done enough.
