Tottenham Hotspur’s manager, Ange Postecoglou, has achieved a historic milestone in the Premier League, becoming the first manager to win 23 or more points in his first nine games in charge.
Spurs extended their unbeaten run by securing a 2-0 victory over Fulham, courtesy of goals from Heung-min Son and James Maddison.
The win took them back to the top of the Premier League table with 23 points, two points ahead of Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City and Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal.
The win against Fulham helped Ange achieve this historic feat that etched him in the history books of the competition. He has outperformed Guus Hiddink and Mike Walker, who previously held the record with 22 points in 9 games.

When Daniel Levy appointed Ange in the summer, no one expected him to make the impact that he has made.
Despite being one of the less popular names considered for the managerial role at Tottenham, Postecoglou has quickly become a beloved figure among Spurs fans and has gained recognition across the league.
The positive impact of Ange Postecoglou’s arrival at Tottenham is evident as he has managed to lift the mood and atmosphere at the club.
His coaching, leadership and man management has produced results both on and off the pitch.
He has Spurs playing some of the best football in the league, and has restored the club’s identity, something the club were missing since Mauricio Pochettino.
Tottenham’s summer signings have made an immediate impact, with James Maddison emerging as one of the standout signings of the season and Guglielmo Vicario providing reliability in goal.
While it is still early in the season, the Spurs team, under Ange Postecoglou’s guidance, appears to be something special. The unity and performance of the squad have raised hopes of achieving significant success in the future.
However, whether Spurs can compete with the likes of City throughout the course of the league remains to be seen.
