Mourinho Has Winning Debut as Tottenham Manager

LONDON — Jose Mourinho made a winning start to life as Tottenham manager as his new team beat West Ham 3-2 on Saturday for its first away victory in the Premier League in more than 10 months.

Son Heung-min, Lucas Moura and Harry Kane scored in a 13-minute span around halftime at the Olympic Stadium, with Tottenham having a spark to its play rarely seen in the final months of Mauricio Pochettino’s reign.

That ended on Tuesday, allowing for the return of Mourinho to the Premier League nearly a year after he was fired by Manchester United.
