Your Tottenham morning digest on Sunday, September 4.
Richarlison and Sessegnon shine
Spurs could have made life much easier for themselves in a commanding win against Fulham, though the woodwork meant it was a nervy finish in the 2-1 victory.
Goals from Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Harry Kane put Antonio Conte's men in control before an Aleksander Mitrovic stunner pulled one back for the away side.

Richarlison grabbed an assist for the opener and Sessegnon squared to Kane for the second in a match where Spurs could have scored many more.
Son's struggles in front of goal
Conte admitted after the game that star winger Son Heung-Min has been struggling to find the net, despite playing well.
The South Korean is yet to score this season and only has one assist in six matches but his manager came to his defence, saying, "this is not only for Sonny (in the matches), but also the training sessions. We have Fraser (Forster) that sometimes he made a fantastic save to him in the training session and sometimes he is struggling to score but this is a period.
"I continue to tell you I am not worried because when I see this type of performance from my players, Sonny included, I am not worried. I know they are going to score many goals with these strikers."
Lucas injury update
Lucas Moura could be out for an extended period as the Brazilian nurses an injury.
After being a substitute against Chelsea and Southampton, the forward has missed all of the club's matches since and Conte has said that it is down to an inflamed tendon.
Moura attracted attention from several clubs in the final weeks of the transfer window but remained a Spurs player, but Sky Sports journalist Michael Bridges doesn't think he'll be playing for the club soon. He said, “He could be out for a few weeks, so that’s a bit of a concern there.”
