Carlos Vinicius reunited with Son Heung-min on Saturday as Tottenham Hotspur beat Fulham 2-1 in North London.
Tottenham claimed all three points on Saturday afternoon, getting back on track after a fairly disappointing 1-1 draw at West Ham United.
Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg put Tottenham in front after exchanging passes with Richarlison, before Harry Kane scored from close range for 2-0.
Aleksandar Mitrovic pulled one back for Fulham and threatened to spark a late revival, but Spurs held on for all three points.
Carlos Vinicius reunited with Son Heung-min
Just a couple of days before Fulham made the trip to Tottenham, the Cottagers swooped to sign a former Spurs striker.
Fulham signed Carlos Vinicius on deadline day, paying £5million to sign the Brazilian as cover and competition for the red-hot Mitrovic.
Vinicius spent the 2020-21 season on loan at Tottenham having been snapped up from Benfica to ease the pressure on Harry Kane.
10 goals in 22 games doesn’t sound all that bad, but three of them came against Marine and only one came in the Premier League.
Vinicius moved on to PSV Eindhoven last season, scoring six goals in 23 league games before returning to the Premier League with Fulham.
Vinicius started from the bench against Tottenham but did come on to feature against his former club.
After the final whistle, Vinicius was spotted reuniting with his former Tottenham teammate Son Heung-min.
In a video posted by Twitter user @bbojjaksonny, Son and Vinicius have an embrace and even a play-fight as they renew pleasantries.
Tottenham forward Lucas Moura even called Vinicius a ‘warrior’, with the former Spurs striker seemingly still popular in North London.
Let’s now see whether Vinicius can become a regular Premier League goalscorer, with his task of displacing Mitrovic in the Fulham side seemingly impossible right now.
