Mourinho wins first Spurs game

Jose Mourinho picked up a victory in his debut as Tottenham manager at the London Stadium this afternoon, despite his team conceding two late goals in a match they had dominated.

The game was high on energy and low on quality in the first half an hour, reflecting the recent runs and respective league positions of both sides. Tottenham then suddenly kicked into gear. Son Heung-min opened the scoring after 36 minutes and then combined brilliantly with Dele Alli to give Lucas Moura a tap-in seven minutes later.

When Harry Kane extended the lead after half-time the game looked over. The introduction of Michail Antonio at half-time finally inspired West Ham. His goal reduced the deficit and he won the corner from which Angelo Ogbonna scored deep into injury time, but it was too late in the contest to give hopes of an equaliser. – Eurosport
