They also made winning starts in the Europa League and League Cup, respectively seeing off Villarreal in a 1-0 victory and Doncaster Rovers in a more straight forward 3-0 win.
A constant in the side has been Lucas Bergvall, who has started four of seven games since the UEFA Super Cup, but has played a role in every Tottenham fixture.
Within them, he has one goal and three assists to his name – with a goal and an assist coming in the 3-0 Premier League victory over West Ham.
According to former Prem man Allen, Tottenham face an uphill battle to keep the Swedish teenager.
“He’s got his best years ahead of him,” Allen told Tottenham News.
Former Tottenham man David Bentley recently suggested the pair have similar styles of play.
He said: “But he’s a great player, so positive on the ball. And if you’ve got a player like that in your team, making them forward runs. He’s like, you know, that Bellingham type, sort of running forward, that strong with the ball.”
In terms of running and beating players, the two are indeed very similar.
Compared to midfielders in top-five European leagues in the last year, Bergvall ranks in the 90th percentile for progressive carries and in the 98th for successful take-ons.
Bellingham, meanwhile, is in the 89th percentile for progressive carries and the 99th for successful take-ons.
