Tottenham are lonely at the top of the English Premier League... and United are catching up with the top clubs

Tottenham Hotspur led the English Premier League, winning their third successive victory over newcomer Watford 1-0 in the third stage on Sunday at home, while Manchester United returned with a late victory at the expense of its host Wolverhampton 1-0 to catch up with the top clubs.

Tottenham tightened its grip on the lead with a full mark, raising its score to 9 points from three games, while United raised its score to seven points from 3 games in third place.

5 teams are equal with 7 points, in addition to United, West Ham Chelsea, Liverpool and Everton.

Tottenham owe the three points to its South Korean star Son Heung-min, who scored the winning goal in the 42nd minute, after he also led him to beat defending champion Manchester City with a clean goal in the opening competition, before beating Wolverhampton by the same score with the international goal Dele Alli.

Tottenham international striker Harry Kane made his first game of the season in the Premier League, after confirming this week that he would not leave the club after rumors of his departure to City.

On the other hand, Watford, returning to the Premier League after one season in the first division (actually the second), won its first match at the expense of Aston Villa 3-2 before falling in the second against Brighton 0-2.

In another match, Burnley and Leeds United tied 1-1.

New Zealander Chris Wood opened the scoring for the owners of the land (61) before Patrick Bamford equalized the result for Leeds (86).
