PREMIER LEAGUE
JOSE Mourinho’s return to football management got off to a dream start as his first game in charge of Tottenham saw them win 3-2 at West Ham.
Mourinho’s 11-month absence from the game ended this week when he replaced Mauricio Pochettino on Wednesday and he needed only three days to lift Spurs’ misfiring stars.
First-half goals from Son Heungmin and Lucas Moura were added to by Harry Kane’s header after the break as Tottenham won away in the Premier League for the first time in 308 days.
Late goals from Michail Antonio and Angelo Ogbonna skewed the scoreline with the Hammers now winless in seven.
Roberto Firmino grabbed an 85thminute winner as Liverpool continued their unbeaten start to the Premier League season by beating Crystal Palace 2-1 at Selhurst Park.
James Tomkins thought he had given Palace the lead two minutes before half-time but the goal was ruled out by VAR.
Liverpool took advantage of that moment of fortune when Sadio Mane struck his 12th goal of the season four minutes into the second half, with the ball going in via both posts. Wilf Zaha levelled with eight minutes left for his first goal of the season but the Reds won it when Firmino popped up three minutes later from a corner to win it.
Leicester remain eight points adrift after they won 2-0 at Brighton.
Ayoze Perez made no mistake in the 64th minute after being set up by Jamie Vardy.
James Maddison thought he had doubled the Foxes’ lead with 10 minutes left, converting after Vardy’s penalty had been parried by Mat Ryan. But the spot-kick had to be retaken for encroachment and Vardy made no mistake with his 12th goal of the season.
Alexandre Lacazette netted in the sixth minute of stoppage time to salvage a 2-2 draw for Arsenal at home to struggling Southampton.
Danny Ings produced a composed finish from a quickly-taken free-kick in the eighth minute to claim his eighth goal of the season.
But Arsenal levelled 10 minutes later as Lacazette pounced on the loose ball with a shot on the turn - his first goal in seven games.
Southampton went back in front with 20 minutes left, with James Ward-Prowse tucking home the rebound after Arsenal keeper Bernd Leno had parried his penalty.
Wolves extended their unbeaten Premier League run to eight games after a 2-1 win at Bournemouth.
Joao Moutinho and Raul Jimenez scored, with Bournemouth, who had Simon Francis sent off, replying through Steve Cook.
