Nuno Espirito Santo’s Tottenham Hotspur debut was a smashing success as Heung-min Son’s goal helped deliver a 1-0 win over reigning champions Manchester City in North London on Sunday.
A boisterous Tottenham Hotspur Stadium saluted its upset heroes and gave absent striker Harry Kane plenty to think about as he considers his future in the Premier League.
Son’s goal came against the run of play but that was very much Nuno’s plan, as two-thirds possession and an 18-13 edge in shots — 11 inside the box — were enough for a winning start.
Man City hosts Norwich City next on Saturday while Spurs visit their boss’ old haunt the Molineux to meet Wolves in one week.
