Tottenham Hotspur have made their best start ever to a Premier League season after defeating Middlesbrough 2-1 at the Riverside.
It was a big win for Spurs, as they appeared to prove they can get the job done without star striker Harry Kane.
On this occasion it was, yet again, the performance of South Korean attacker Heung-min Son that caught the eye.
He scored both goals for Spurs in a good win for the club.

It is certainly a good rise from the player, who had struggled with his form and injury last term.
His return to his best form certainly had former Tottenham Hotspur striker and Match of the Day presenter Gary Lineker making puns on Twitter:
But the joke certainly highlighted the brilliant turnaround from Son.
He was very nearly flogged back to Germany with Bundesliga club VfL Wolfsburg keen on his signature in the summer.
But in the end Spurs decided to keep hold of him and at the moment that looks like a very wise decision.
Hopefully he can continue to turn things around at White Hart Lane.
