Nuno Espirito Santo was dropped into the deep end when he took the Spurs job just 45 days from the start of the season, but after three games the Portuguese has made some start to life in north London.
Three games, three goals scored and none conceded. Spurs head into the international break atop the Premier League table with an unmatched tally of nine points, made all the sweeter with arch rivals Arsenal stuck in 20th place, at rock bottom.
It is a record made all the more remarkable given that Nuno - widely viewed as at least the eighth choice for the vacancy - has had to contend with the ongoing Harry Kane transfer saga that would understandably serve as a great distraction for any dressing room.
