Mourinho wins first game as Tottenham coach at West Ham

Jose Mourinho opened his Tottenham account with a 3-2 London derby win at West Ham on Saturday.

Mourinho took over as Tottenham boss following the sacking of Mauricio Pochettino earlier this week, with the former Chelsea and Manchester United manager signing a deal until the end of the 2022/23 season.

Goals from Heung-min Son and Lucas Moura put Spurs two goals ahead by half-time as West Ham had no answer for the visitors’ vibrant attacking play, and Harry Kane effectively wrapped things up as a contest with a header four minutes after the interval.

Angelo Ogbonna scored a last-gasp header – but there is a reason why none of Mourinho’s Premier League teams have ever lost after having had a two-goal lead at the break.
