Jose Mourinho got off to a good start in charge of Tottenham as his side beat West Ham 3-2 at the London Stadium.

Spurs turned on the style in the first half, with goals by Son Heung-min and Lucas Moura ensuring they took a 2-0 lead into half-time.

Harry Kane added a third in the second half before Hammers substitute Michail Antonio responded with a consolation strike, and Angelo Ogbonna added a late second.

Dele Alli was the star for Spurs as his link-up play in midfield proved crucial to unlocking the West Ham defence.
