LONDON - Jose Mourinho began life as Tottenham Hotspur manager with a 3-2 victory at West Ham United — their first away win in 10 months — on a Saturday when the Premier League’s pacesetters Liverpool and Leicester City also took three points.
With Norwich City, Burnley and Wolverhampton Wanderers also winning away, Southampton were the only travelling side not to claim three points, although they were only denied by a 96th-minute Arsenal equaliser by Alexandre Lacazette in a 2-2 draw. Mourinho chose to highlight the contribution of midfielder Dele Alli, who produced an outrageous piece of skill in the lead-up to Spurs’ second goal by somehow scooping the ball down the line to Son when it had appeared out of play.
“I was really happy before we conceded the two goals, we were playing well, bringing to the game things we had tried in training,” said 56-year-old Mourinho.Liverpool grabbed another late winner through Roberto Firmino at Selhurst Park against a spirited Palace side who were controversially denied an opener from James Tomkins after VAR spotted a push on defender Dejan Lovren.
Leicester remain eight points behind leaders Liverpool, who have 37, but two points ahead of Chelsea and three in front of champions Manchester City, who meet later on Saturday.
