Spurs and Leicester fighting at the top
Harry Kane scored a headed winner in the 88th minute to give Tottenham a 1-0 win against West Brom and put Jose Mourinho’s side top of the table for a brief spell. It was his 150th Premier League goal for Spurs.
Leicester City beat Wolves 1-0 as a result of a Jamie Vardy penalty, and that win put the Foxes on top until after the international break.
Harry Kane has scored seven goals and has eight assists in Spurs’ first eight matches, while Heung-Min Son has eight goals and two assists for the North London.
