Portuguese coach Jose Mourinho have gave Tottenham Hotspurs their
first away win in the Premier League since January in his first game as coach
of the team with a 3-2 win at West Ham.
South Korea striker "Son
Heung-min", Lucas Moura and Harry Kane got the goals for the visiting team as
they made an instant impact after the sacked of Mauricio Pochettino on
Wednesday.
"We
have to make the right decision for the club," Mourinho said on Eriksen's
future before kick-off, but his decision to field a front four of Dele Alli
with Son, Moura and Kane worked.
English
skipper Harry Kane had smashed the ball past beleaguered West Ham goalkeeper
Roberto after just three minutes from Alli's pass but was denied by the offside
flag.
An
injury to first-choice stopper Lukasz Fabianski has coincided with a run of
eight games without a win for West Ham with a string of errors from Roberto
spreading a lack of confidence throughout the team.
The
England captain was obviously furious at himself for not adding another on the
hour mark as he dallied with just Roberto to beat and was dispossessed by a
last-ditch challenge from Issa Diop.
Michail
Antonio pulled a goal back for West Ham in the 17 minutes from time, but by the
time Angelo Ogbonna scored West Ham's second six minutes into stoppage time it
was too little, too late for the host team to come back.
West
Ham manager Manuel Pellegrini now waits to see if he faces a similar fate to
Pochettino.
The
Hammers were expected to challenge for European qualification in the Chilean's
second season but instead are 16th and in danger of falling even closer towards
the relegation zone by the end of the weekend.
Plenty of positives. A
lot of hard work ahead.
✊ A massive three points though to get us up and running under Jose
Mourinho! #THFC ⚪️ #COYS pic.twitter.com/EDSZ8ynaqT
