Tottenham moved to put a difficult week behind them with a 3-1 victory over Fulham at Wembley Stadium .
After announcing that the opening of their new stadium would be delayed , Mauricio Pochettino’s side reminded their critics how much they feel at home under the Arch – with Harry Kane scoring his first ever Premier League goal in the month of August .
Across London it was another tough day at the office for new West Ham manager Manuel Pellegrini, with the Hammers losing 2-1 to Bournemouth .
Elsewhere, 10-man Leicester defeated Wolves 2-0 , while Everton won 2-1 at home to Southampton .
In the weekend’s opening game, Cardiff City and Newcastle United picked up their first points of the campaign – but the Magpies should have snatched all three, with Kenedy missing a stoppage-time penalty.
