Jose Mourinho has tarted off at Tottenham with an away victory over West Ham.
The team he assuming coaching two days ago beat West Ham 3-2.
The win is the first for Spurs in about six games.

As AFP reports, Son Heung-min, Lucas Moura and Harry Kane scored the goals as Mourinho made an instant impact after replacing the sacked Mauricio Pochettino on Wednesday.
It was, however, a narrow escape as the Mourinho boys were initially leading 3-0.

Predictably, the 56-year-old (once) boastful team is happy at the result.
“I was really happy before we conceded the two goals, we were playing well, bringing to the game things we had tried in training,” Mourinho told BT Sport. “And we had the ball to make it 4-0 and kill the game.

“We are lucky I have so many years in the Premier League so I told the players at half-time ‘even if we are 3-0 in the 85th minute the game will still be open’.

“But there were also many factors. The emotions of losing the previous manager, people coming back from national teams and fatigue in the last 20 minutes.

“The most important thing was to win, no matter how. The boys are happy and that’s what I really wanted,” he is quoted as saying.
