At 14:30, the first and highly anticipated 13th round of matches in the English Premier League were played - Jose Mourinho made his debut as the manager of Tottenham in London.
In their last five matches without a win, the Tottenham team faced West Ham. The first pancake of J. Mourinho did not turn out well - the Hammers scored two goals, but the Spurs players, who had built a solid advantage, celebrated a victory with a score of 3:2.
These matches received a huge buzz due to the changes in the Tottenham coaching staff. It seems that the team benefited from such a shock - Spurs celebrated a victory in away matches for the first time since January.
In the 36th minute, Heung-Min Son scored in the beginning of J. Mourinho's era at Tottenham - he led the visiting team forward after a brilliant pass from Dele Alli. At the end of the first half, Lucas Moura increased the lead, perfectly executing H-M. Son's pass.
In the beginning of the second half, West Ham also did not promise anything good - in the 49th minute, Harry Kane already built a convincing lead.
It seemed that Saturday afternoon would end even more sadly for West Ham, but the Hammers returned to the match and caused problems for J. Mourinho's team defense.
In the 73rd minute, Michail Antonio reduced the deficit, and another goal was added right at the end by Angelo Ogbonna.
Avoiding major problems after the end of the match, Tottenham's players at least temporarily returned to 6th position.
Final score: West Ham 2 - 3 Tottenham
