Ange Postecoglou oversaw a thrilling first win as Tottenham manager with 2-0 victory over Manchester United.
Pape Sarr's strike and a Lisandro Martinez own goal settled a pulsating Premier League clash on Saturday night.
Even by Spurs' standards this has been a chastening year, with their struggles in the second half of last season compounded by homegrown star Harry Kane's recent switch to Bayern Munich.
But former Celtic boss Postecoglou has brought new hope to Tottenham and his entertaining, new-look side sealed a fine 2-0 win thanks to Sarr's effort and a late Martinez own goal.
