Tottenham Hotspur managed to beat Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-1 in their last match.
Spurs were vulnerable from dead ball situations when Mourinho first took over, and conceded a corner against West Ham United in his very first game in charge.
Mourinho has clearly worked on the way that Tottenham defend from set pieces in recent weeks on the training ground though.
And that practice made perfect yesterday, as Tottenham beat Wolves 2-1.
Wolves had multiple opportunities to deliver from both corners and free-kicks, but Spurs stood firm.
And Mourinho said: “Wolves were super dominant at corners and free kicks. We won because we coped so well with the defensive set pieces.
“It is something that a couple of weeks ago where Tottenham were struggling, conceding goals in every set piece.
“But we came here and managed to be very dominating in that area of the game.”
Tottenham’s win against Wolves yesterday was particularly hard-fought, as they were on the back foot for much of the contest.
Spurs managed to soak up the pressure though, and they eventually took the three points through a set-piece routine of their own.
Jan Vertonghen wandered forward in the final minutes and headed home from a Christian Eriksen delivery, to give Spurs a huge victory, as they look to climb into the top four.
